Calibration of the Herschel SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer
B. M. Swinyard, E. T. Polehampton, R. Hopwood +21
The Herschel SPIRE instrument consists of an imaging photometric camera and an imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS), both operating over a frequency range of 450-1550 GHz.…
Generation of an optimal target list for the Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory (EChO)
Ryan Varley, Ingo Waldmann, Enzo Pascale +8
The Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory (EChO) has been studied as a space mission concept by the European Space Agency in the context of the M3 selection process. Through direc…
Carbon Monoxide in the Cold Debris of Supernova 1987A
J. Kamenetzky, R. McCray, R. Indebetouw +27
We report spectroscopic and imaging observations of rotational transitions of cold CO and SiO in the ejecta of SN1987A, the first such emission detected in a supernova remnant. In…
Herschel observations of the Sgr B2 cores: Hydrides, warm CO, and cold dust
M. Etxaluze, J. R. Goicoechea, J. Cernicharo +6
Sagittarius B2 (Sgr B2) is one of the most massive and luminous star-forming regions in the Galaxy and shows chemical and physical conditions similar to those in distant extragalac…
Flux calibration of the Herschel-SPIRE photometer
G. J. Bendo, M. J. Griffin, J. J. Bock +16
We describe the procedure used to flux calibrate the three-band submillimetre photometer in the Spectral and Photometric Imaging REceiver (SPIRE) instrument on the Herschel Space O…
Characterising the Atmospheres of Transiting Planets with a Dedicated Space Telescope
M. Tessenyi, M. Ollivier, G. Tinetti +12
Exoplanetary science is among the fastest evolving fields of today's astronomical research. Ground-based planet-hunting surveys alongside dedicated space missions (Kepler, CoRoT) a…
"TNOs are cool": A survey of the trans-neptunian region. II. The thermal lightcurve of (136108) Haumea
E. Lellouch, C. Kiss, P. Santos-Sanz +33
Thermal emission from Kuiper Belt object (136108) Haumea was measured with Herschel-PACS at 100 and 160 micrometers for almost a full rotation period. Observations clearly indicate…
In-flight calibration of the Herschel-SPIRE instrument
B. M. Swinyard, P. Ade, J-P. Baluteau +55
SPIRE, the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver, is the Herschel Space Observatory's submillimetre camera and spectrometer. It contains a three-band imaging photometer operati…
The Molecular Hydrogen Explorer H2EX
F. Boulanger, J. P. Maillard, P. Appleton +12
The Molecular Hydrogen Explorer, H2EX, was proposed in response to the ESA 2015 - 2025 Cosmic Vision Call as a medium class space mission with NASA and CSA participations. The miss…
Physical parameters for Orion KL from modelling its ISO high resolution far-IR CO line spectrum
M. R. Lerate, J. Yates, S. Viti +5
As part of the first high resolution far-IR spectral survey of the Orion KL region (Lerate et al. 2006), we observed 20 CO emission lines with Jup=16 to Jup=39 (upper levels from a…
