The Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) is one of the three science instruments on ESA’s far infrared and submillimetre observatory. It employs two Ge:Ga photoconductor arrays…
The 158 micron forbidden C II line - A measure of global star formation activity in galaxies
Some 158 micron forbidden C II fine structure line observations from a sample of fourteen gas rich galaxies are reported. These measurements confirm and generalize previous basic results that the C…
THE LESSER ROLE OF STARBURSTS IN STAR FORMATION AT z = 2
- G. RodighieroE. Daddi G. Zamorani
- 3 August 2011
Physics
Two main modes of star formation are know to control the growth of galaxies: a relatively steady one in disk-like galaxies, defining a tight star formation rate (SFR)–stellar mass sequence, and a…
ON STAR FORMATION RATES AND STAR FORMATION HISTORIES OF GALAXIES OUT TO z ∼ 3
- S. WuytsN. F. Förster Schreiber I. Valtchanov
- 27 June 2011
Physics
We compare multi-wavelength star formation rate (SFR) indicators out to z ∼ 3 in the GOODS-South field. Our analysis uniquely combines U to 8 μm photometry from FIREWORKS, MIPS 24 μm and PACS 70,…
Neutral gas in the central 2 parsecs of the Galaxy
- J. JacksonN. Geis C. Townes
- 1993
Physics
We have mapped the 1.1 mm HCN J=3→2 line with IRAM 30 m telescope at 12″ resolution and the 63 μm [O I] 3 P 1 → 3 P 2 line with the Kuiper Airborne Observatory at 20″ resolution within a projected…
The deepest Herschel-PACS far-infrared survey: number counts and infrared luminosity functions from combined PEP/GOODS-H observations
- B. MagnelliP. Popesso I. Valtchanov
- 18 March 2013
Physics
We present results from the deepest Herschel-Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) far-infrared blank field extragalactic survey, obtained by combining observations of the Great…
VALIDATION OF THE EQUILIBRIUM MODEL FOR GALAXY EVOLUTION TO z ∼ 3 THROUGH MOLECULAR GAS AND DUST OBSERVATIONS OF LENSED STAR-FORMING GALAXIES
- A. SaintongeD. Lutz S. Wuyts
- 12 September 2013
Physics, Environmental Science
We combine IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer and Herschel PACS and SPIRE measurements to study the dust and gas contents of high-redshift star-forming galaxies. We present new observations for a…
The Herschel* PEP/HerMES luminosity function - I. Probing the evolution of PACS selected Galaxies to z ≃ 4
- C. GruppioniF. Pozzi E. Zucca
- 21 February 2013
Physics
We exploit the deep and extended far-IR data sets (at 70, 100 and 160 mu m) of the Herschel Guaranteed Time Observation (GTO) PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP) Survey, in combination with the Herschel…
Herschel : the first science highlights Special feature L etter to the E ditor The first Herschel view of the mass-SFR link in high-z galaxies
- G. RodighieroA. Cimatti E. Wieprecht
- 2010
Physics
Aims. We exploit deep observations of the GOODS-N field taken with PACS, the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer, onboard of Herschel, as part of the PACS evolutionary probe guaranteed time…
PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP) – a Herschel key program
- D. LutzA. Poglitsch E. Wieprecht
- 16 June 2011
Physics
Deep far-infrared photometric surveys studying galaxy evolution and the nature of the cosmic infrared background are a key strength of the Herschel mission. We describe the scientific motivation for…
