Assessing Zeeman Measurements of Magnetic Fields in Synthetic HI Observations

Duo Xu, Peter Martin, Stella Offner +3

Zeeman observations provide the only direct probe of line-of-sight (LOS) magnetic fields in the interstellar medium. To evaluate their accuracy and limitations, we generate synthet…

Gas morphology and energetics at the surface of PDRs: new insights with Herschel observations of NGC 7023

C. Joblin, P. Pilleri, J. Montillaud +37

We investigate the physics and chemistry of the gas and dust in dense photon-dominated regions (PDRs), along with their dependence on the illuminating UV field. Using Herschel-HIFI…

Herschel observations of EXtra-Ordinary Sources (HEXOS): Observations of H2O and its isotopologues towards Orion KL

G. J. Melnick, V. Tolls, D. A. Neufeld +49

We report the detection of more than 48 velocity-resolved ground rotational state transitions of H2(16)O, H2(18)O, and H2(17)O - most for the first time - in both emission and abso…

Strong CH+ J=1-0 emission and absorption in DR21

E. Falgarone, V. Ossenkopf, M. Gerin +30

We report the first detection of the ground-state rotational transition of the methylidyne cation CH+ towards the massive star-forming region DR21 with the HIFI instrument onboard…

From filamentary clouds to prestellar cores to the stellar IMF: Initial highlights from the Herschel Gould Belt survey

Ph. André, A. Men'shchikov, S. Bontemps +54

We summarize the first results from the Gould Belt survey, obtained toward the Aquila Rift and Polaris Flare regions during the 'science demonstration phase' of Herschel. Our 70-50…

Clouds, filaments and protostars: the Herschel Hi-GAL Milky Way

S. Molinari, B. Swinyard, J. Bally +121

We present the first results from the science demonstration phase for the Hi-GAL survey, the Herschel key-project that will map the inner Galactic Plane of the Milky Way in 5 bands…

Herschel-SPIRE spectroscopy of the DR21 molecular cloud core

Glenn J. White, A. Abergel, L. Spencer +47

We present far-infrared spectra and maps of the DR21 molecular cloud core between 196 and 671 microns, using the Herschel-SPIRE spectrometer. Nineteen molecular lines originating f…

The Herschel first look at protostars in the Aquila Rift

S. Bontemps, Ph. Andre, V. Konyves +40

As part of the science demonstration phase of the Herschel mission of the Gould Belt Key Program, the Aquila Rift molecular complex has been observed. The complete ~ 3.3deg x 3.3de…

HIFI observations of warm gas in DR21: Shock versus radiative heating

V. Ossenkopf, M. Röllig, R. Simon +35

The molecular gas in the DR21 massive star formation region is known to be affected by the strong UV field from the central star cluster and by a fast outflow creating a bright sho…
