The Spectral and Photometric Imaging REceiver (SPIRE), is the Herschel Space Observatory‘s submillimetre camera and spectrometer. It contains a three-band imaging photometer operating at 250, 350 and…
GOODS–Herschel: an infrared main sequence for star-forming galaxies
- D. ElbazM. Dickinson G. Wilson
- 12 May 2011
Physics
We present the deepest 100 to 500 μm far-infrared observations obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory as part of the GOODS-Herschel key program, and examine the infrared (IR) 3–500 μm spectral…

Physics
Despite the overall downturn in cosmic star formation towards the highest redshifts, it seems that environments mature enough to form the most massive, intense starbursts existed at least as early as 880 million years after the Big Bang.
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,…
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…
The Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey: HerMES
The Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) is a legacy programme designed to map a set of nested fields designed to facilitate redshift determination, rapidly identify unusual objects and understand the relationships between thermal emission from dust and other processes.
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…
The mean star formation rate of X-ray selected active galaxies and its evolution from z~2.5: results from PEP-Herschel
- D. RosarioP. Santini S. Wuyts
- 27 March 2012
Physics
We study relationships between star-formation rate (SFR) and the accretion luminosity and nuclear obscuration of X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) using a combination of deep far-infrared…
