@ he would either fire us all, or select only the projects that got the most votes from the public

here is the picture of the star-forming region that i twittered about

BTW: all images are embargoed until this Friday, so then you can enjou what we saw here in Madrid

after lunch with the astronomers, conclusion: results are stunning, but many had hoped for a bit more. Prob. wait until tomorrow and friday

didn't show the two images we made for WISH, but went for the Italian's ... well, then we got some splash to make tomorrow!

Okay that was it.. Very impressive, although there is already loads more..That will be revealed tomorrow and Friday

Detection of a quasar at z>6 at 100 micron. (and you are looking at the galaxy! not the quasar itself), Very Impressive

Follow-up from PACS (100 micron) is right at the peak of the SED and probes a lot of young galaxies

Herschel-SPIRE now can distinguish all these individual galaxies for the first time. They targeted GOODS-N field.

-
now onto the Cosmic IR background: it is created from very young, very distant galaxies, almost creating a uniform brightness in the sky

Such observations are compared to optical images and reveals star formation and amount of dust in other galaxies, invisible at visible

-
now: Herschel (SPIRE at 250 micron)observes cold dust is the Virgo Cluster (NGC 4435), stripped from an interacting pair of galaxies.

IR/Submm are great tracers for local temperatures and densities in star-forming clouds. It provides a link between protostars and surr. ISM

Matt Griffin (SPIRE PI) now presents a beatufil image of the Aquila star forming region at 70,160,500 micron. Detail shows amazing structure

WISH (our program) observed water with PACS in L1157. Water is very sensitive to outflows and Brunella's map shows water over ~1 lightyear

now up: Albrecht Poglitsch

Star Formation: outflow/jets free water from ice grains, excellent tracer for very early stellar evolution

That is surprising, since HIFI only had very very few data before the "incident" (it is okay now, but not doing science yet)

-
Comets: HIFI detected water, sublimating from the comet surface: Comet C/2008 Q3 Garradd. Much less water prod. than expected.

Up is now: Frank Helmich, the Dutch PI of HIFI (which is sadly been not working well YET)
