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…
Physical properties of the Sh2-104 HII region as seen by Herschel
J. A. Rodón, A. Zavagno, J. -P. Baluteau +46
Context: Sh2-104 is a Galactic H ii region with a bubble morphology, detected at optical and radio wavelengths. It is considered the first observational confirmation of the collect…
The Aquila prestellar core population revealed by Herschel
V. Könyves, Ph. André, A. Men'shchikov +37
The origin and possible universality of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) is a major issue in astrophysics. One of the main objectives of the Herschel Gould Belt Survey is to…
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…
The physical properties of the dust in the RCW 120 HII region as seen by Herschel
L. D. Anderson, A. Zavagno, J. A. Rodon +41
Context. RCW 120 is a well-studied, nearby Galactic HII region with ongoing star formation in its surroundings. Previous work has shown that it displays a bubble morphology at mid-…
