The Herschel Photodetector Array Camera & Spectrometer (PACS): design and in-flight operation and scientific performance
The Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) is one of the three science instru-ments for ESA's far infrared and submillimeter observatory Herschel...
The Herschel-SPIRE photometer data processing pipeline
We describe the on-board electronics chain and the on-ground data processing pipeline that will operate on data from the Herschel-SPIRE photometer to produce...
The HETE-2 satellite: detection of Gamma-Ray Bursts and other transient phenomena
HETE-2 (High Energy Transient Explorer) is a small scientific satellite whose main task is to detect Gamma-Ray Bursts, promptly determine their coordinates...
We propose to take 5-37 micron IRS spectra of heavily obscured transition objects evolving from the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) to the Planetary Nebula (PN)...
A considerable fraction of the massive stars of our galaxy is obscured by dust. Dust extinction is preventing us from using powerful criteria, developed at UV...
Mapping the low surface brightness (μ >28 mag arcsec^{-2}) structures of the galaxies opens the possibility of testing our current ΛCDM galaxy formation model...
