Cold dust but warm gas in the unusual elliptical galaxy NGC 4125
C. D. Wilson, A. Cridland, K. Foyle +19
Data from the Herschel Space Observatory have revealed an unusual elliptical galaxy, NGC 4125, which has strong and extended submillimeter emission from cold dust but only very str…
Regional variations in the dense gas heating and cooling in M51 from Herschel far-infrared spectroscopy
T. J. Parkin, C. D. Wilson, M. R. P. Schirm +13
We present Herschel PACS and SPIRE spectroscopy of the most important far-infrared cooling lines in M51, [CII](158 μm), [NII](122 & 205 μm), [OI](63 and 145 μm) and [OIII](88 μm).…
Spatially resolved stellar, dust and gas properties of the post-interacting Whirlpool Galaxy system
Erin Mentuch Cooper, Christine D. Wilson, Kelly Foyle +15
Using infrared imaging from the Herschel Space Observatory, observed as part of the VNGS, we investigate the spatially resolved dust properties of the interacting Whirlpool galaxy…
The JCMT Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey VIII. CO data and the L(CO3-2)-L(FIR) correlation in the SINGS sample
C. D. Wilson, B. E. Warren, F. P. Israel +57
The James Clerk Maxwell Telescope Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey (NGLS) comprises an HI-selected sample of 155 galaxies spanning all morphological types with distances less than 25…
Herschel and JCMT observations of the early-type dwarf galaxy NGC 205
I. De Looze, M. Baes, T. J. Parkin +18
We present Herschel dust continuum, James Clerk Maxwell Telescope CO(3-2) observations and a search for [CII] 158 micron and [OI] 63 micron spectral line emission for the brightest…
The gas-to-dust mass ratio of Centaurus A as seen by Herschel
T. J. Parkin, C. D. Wilson, K. Foyle +20
We present photometry of the nearby galaxy NGC 5128 (Centaurus A) observed with the PACS and SPIRE instruments on board the Herschel Space Observatory, at 70, 160, 250, 350 and 500…
The Dust & Gas Properties of M83
K. Foyle, C. D. Wilson, E. Mentuch +17
We examine the dust and gas properties of the nearby, barred galaxy M83, which is part of the Very Nearby Galaxy Survey. Using images from the PACS and SPIRE instruments of Hersche…
On the origin of M81 group extended dust emission
J. I. Davies, C. D. Wilson, R. Auld +57
Galactic cirrus emission at far-infrared wavelengths affects many extragalactic observations. Separating this emission from that associated with extragalactic objects is both impor…
The JCMT Nearby Galaxies Legacy Survey IV. Velocity Dispersions in the Molecular Interstellar Medium in Spiral Galaxies
C. D. Wilson, B. E. Warren, J. Irwin +21
An analysis of large-area CO J=3-2 maps from the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope for 12 nearby spiral galaxies reveals low velocity dispersions in the molecular component of the inte…
Radial distribution of gas and dust in the two spiral galaxies M99 and M100
M. Pohlen, L. Cortese, M. W. L. Smith +55
By combining Herschel-SPIRE data with archival Spitzer, HI, and CO maps, we investigate the spatial distribution of gas and dust in the two famous grand-design spirals M99 and M100…
Probing the molecular interstellar medium of M82 with Herschel-SPIRE spectroscopy
P. Panuzzo, N. Rangwala, A. Rykala +60
We present the observations of the starburst galaxy M82 taken with the Herschel SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer. The spectrum (194-671 μm) shows a prominent CO rotational ladd…
The dust morphology of the elliptical Galaxy M86 with SPIRE
H. L. Gomez, M. Baes, L. Cortese +58
We present Herschel-SPIRE observations at 250-500um of the giant elliptical galaxy M86 and examine the distribution of the resolved cold dust emission and its relation with other g…
SPIRE imaging of M82: cool dust in the wind and tidal streams
H. Roussel, C. D. Wilson, L. Vigroux +57
M82 is a unique representative of a whole class of galaxies, starbursts with superwinds, in the Very Nearby Galaxy Survey with Herschel. In addition, its interaction with the M81 g…
The Herschel Reference Survey
A. Boselli, S. Eales, L. Cortese +53
The Herschel Reference Survey is a guaranteed time Herschel key project and will be a benchmark study of dust in the nearby universe. The survey will complement a number of other H…
