The Herschel-SPIRE instrument and its in-flight performance

M. J. Griffin, A. Abergel, A. Abreu +176

The Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE), is the Herschel Space Observatory`s submillimetre camera and spectrometer. It contains a three-band imaging photometer operat…

Silicon in the dust formation zone of IRC +10216 as observed with PACS and SPIRE on board Herschel

L. Decin, J. Cernicharo, M. J. Barlow +36

The interstellar medium is enriched primarily by matter ejected from evolved low and intermediate mass stars. The outflows from these stars create a circumstellar envelope in which…

Detection of anhydrous hydrochloric acid, HCl, in IRC+10216 with the Herschel SPIRE and PACS spectrometers

J. Cernicharo, L. Decin, M. J. Barlow +31

We report on the detection of anhydrous hydrochloric acid (hydrogen chlorine, HCl) in the carbon-rich star IRC+10216 using the spectroscopic facilities onboard the Herschel satelli…

The Herschel view of star formation in the Rosette molecular cloud under the influence of NGC 2244

N. Schneider, F. Motte, S. Bontemps +43

The Rosette molecular cloud is promoted as the archetype of a triggered star-formation site. This is mainly due to its morphology, because the central OB cluster NGC 2244 has blown…

The β Pictoris disk imaged by Herschel PACS and SPIRE

B. Vandenbussche, B. Sibthorpe, B. Acke +40

We obtained Herschel PACS and SPIRE images of the thermal emission of the debris disk around the A5V star β Pic. The disk is well resolved in the PACS filters at 70, 100, and 160 μ…

Small-scale structure in the Rosette molecular cloud revealed by Herschel

J. Di Francesco, S. Sadavoy, F. Motte +40

We present a preliminary analysis of the small-scale structure found in new 70-520 micron continuum maps of the Rosette molecular cloud (RMC), obtained with the SPIRE and PACS inst…

The Vega Debris Disc: A view from Herschel

B. Sibthorpe, B. Vandenbussche, J. S. Greaves +37

We present five band imaging of the Vega debris disc obtained using the Herschel Space Observatory. These data span a wavelength range of 70-500 um with full-width half-maximum ang…

Herschel-SPIRE FTS spectroscopy of the carbon-rich objects AFGL 2688, AFGL 618 and NGC 7027

R. Wesson, J. Cernicharo, M. J. Barlow +22

We present far-infrared and submillimetre spectra of three carbon-rich evolved objects, AFGL 2688, AFGL 618 and NGC 7027. The spectra were obtained with the SPIRE Fourier transform…

Herschel observations of embedded protostellar clusters in the Rosette Molecular Cloud

M. Hennemann, F. Motte, S. Bontemps +39

The Herschel OB young stellar objects survey (HOBYS) has observed the Rosette molecular cloud, providing an unprecedented view of its star formation activity. These new far-infrare…

A Herschel PACS and SPIRE study of the dust content of the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant

M. J. Barlow, O. Krause, B. M. Swinyard +13

Using the 3.5-m Herschel Space Observatory, imaging photometry of Cas A has been obtained in six bands between 70 um and 500 um with the PACS and SPIRE instruments, with angular re…

Herschel PACS and SPIRE imaging of CW Leo

D. Ladjal, M. J. Barlow, M. A. T. Groenewegen +25

Herschel PACS and SPIRE images have been obtained over a 30'x30' area around the well-known carbon star CW Leo (IRC +10 216). An extended structure is found in an incomplete arc of…
