On the shape of the mass-function of dense clumps in the Hi-GAL fields. II. Using Bayesian inference to study the clump mass function
L. Olmi, D. Angles-Alcazar, D. Elia +6
Context. Stars form in dense, dusty clumps of molecular clouds, but little is known about their origin, their evolution and their detailed physical properties. In particular, the r…
Two Mass Distributions in the L 1641 Molecular Clouds: The Herschel connection of Dense Cores and Filaments in Orion A
D. Polychroni, E. Schisano, D. Elia +23
We present the Herschel Gould Belt survey maps of the L1641 molecular clouds in Orion A. We extracted both the filaments and dense cores in the region. We identified which of dense…

We present the first overview of the Herschel observations of the nearby high-mass star-forming region NGC 7538, taken as part of the Herschel imaging study of OB Young Stellar obj…
The first Hi-GAL observations of the outer Galaxy: a look to star formation in the third Galactic quadrant in the longitude range 216.5 < l < 225.5
D. Elia, S. Molinari, Y. Fukui +17
We present the first Herschel PACS and SPIRE photometric observations in a portion of the outer Galaxy ( and $-2^{\circ} \lesssi…
On the shape of the mass-function of dense clumps in the Hi-GAL fields. I. SED determination and global properties of the mass-functions
L. Olmi, D. Angles-Alcazar, D. Elia +11
Stars form in dense, dusty clumps of molecular clouds, but little is known about their origin and evolution. In particular, the relationship between the mass distribution of these…
The G305 star-forming complex: Embedded Massive Star Formation Discovered by Herschel Hi-GAL
A. Faimali, M. A. Thompson, L. Hindson +7
We present a Herschel far-infrared study towards the rich massive star- forming complex G305, utilising PACS 70, 160 μm and SPIRE 250, 350, and 500 μm observations from the Hi-GAL…
The spine of the swan: A Herschel study of the DR21 ridge and filaments in Cygnus X
M. Hennemann, F. Motte, N. Schneider +31
In order to characterise the cloud structures responsible for the formation of high-mass stars, we present Herschel observations of the DR21 environment. Maps of the column density…
A multi-wavelength investigation of RCW175: an HII region harboring spinning dust emission
C. T. Tibbs, R. Paladini, M. Compiegne +9
Using infrared, radio continuum and spectral observations, we performed a detailed investigation of the HII region RCW175. We determined that RCW175, which actually consists of two…
Isolated starless cores in IRDCs in the Hi-GAL survey
L. A. Wilcock, D. Ward-Thompson, J. M. Kirk +15
In a previous paper we identified cores within infrared dark clouds (IRDCs). We regarded those without embedded sources as the least evolved, and labelled them starless. Here we id…
Detection and characterization of a 500 mic dust emissivity excess in the Galactic Plane using Herschel/Hi-GAL observations
D. Paradis, R. Paladini, A. Noriega-Crespo +7
Past and recent observations have revealed unexpected variations in the FIR-mm dust emissivity. In the Herschel spectral range, those are often referred to as a 500μm emission exce…
