HerMES: The submillimeter spectral energy distributions of Herschel/SPIRE-detected galaxies
(2010-07-01)
We present colours of sources detected with the Herschel/SPIRE instrument in deep extragalactic surveys of the Lockman Hole, Spitzer-FLS, and GOODS-N fields in three photometric bands at 250, 350 and 500 μm. We compare ...
The dust morphology of the elliptical Galaxy M 86 with SPIRE
(2010-07-01)
We present Herschel-SPIRE observations at 250–500 μm of the giant elliptical galaxy M 86 and examine the distribution of the resolved cold dust emission and its relation with other galactic tracers. The SPIRE images reveal ...
FIR colours and SEDs of nearby galaxies observed with Herschel
(2010-07-01)
We present infrared colours (in the 25–500 μm spectral range) and UV to radio continuum spectral energy distributions of a sample of 51 nearby galaxies observed with SPIRE on Herschel. The observed sample includes all ...
HerMES: The SPIRE confusion limit
(2010-07-01)
We report on the sensitivity of SPIRE photometers on the Herschel Space Observatory. Specifically, we measure the confusion noise from observations taken during the science demonstration phase of the Herschel Multi-tiered ...
HerMES: Halo occupation number and bias properties of dusty galaxies from angular clustering measurements
(2010-07-01)
We measure the angular correlation function, w(θ), from 0.5 to 30 arcmin of detected sources in two wide fields of the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES). Our measurements are consistent with the expected ...
HerMES: SPIRE galaxy number counts at 250, 350, and 500 µm
(2010-07-01)
Emission at far-infrared wavelengths makes up a significant fraction of the total light detected from galaxies over the age of Universe. Herschel provides an opportunity for studying galaxies at the peak wavelength of their ...
Herschel unveils a puzzling uniformity of distant dusty galaxies
(2010-07-01)
The Herschel Space Observatory enables us to accurately measure the bolometric output of starburst galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGN) by directly sampling the peak of their far-infrared (IR) emission. Here we examine ...
The HerMES SPIRE submillimeter local luminosity function
(2010-07-01)
Local luminosity functions are fundamental benchmarks for high-redshift galaxy formation and evolution studies as well as for models describing these processes. Determining the local luminosity function in the submillimeter ...
HerMES: Far infrared properties of known AGN in the HerMES fields
(2010-07-01)
Nuclear and starburst activity are known to often occur concomitantly. Herschel-SPIRE provides sampling of the far-infrared (FIR) spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of type 1 and type 2 AGN, allowing for the separation ...
