Journal ArticleDOI

The Herschel-SPIRE instrument and its in-flight performance

Matthew Joseph Griffin, +189 more
TL;DR: The Spectral and Photometric Imaging REceiver (SPIRE) is the Herschel Space Observatory's sub-millimetre camera and spectrometer as discussed by the authors, which is used for image and spectroscopic data acquisition.
Journal ArticleDOI

The global rate and efficiency of star formation in spiral galaxies as a function of morphology and environment

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used CCD images of Ha: and R-band emission in 120 spiral galaxies to derive the distribution and total flux of continuum-subtracted Ha: line emission, and therefore the Ha: surface brightnesses and high mass star formation rates in these galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Star Formation Efficiency within Galaxies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine H? imaging with the CO-line observations of the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory Extragalactic CO Survey to study the relationship between molecular gas and high-mass star formation for 568 regions in 121 galaxies at 45'' resolution.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Bolocam: a millimeter-wave bolometric camera

TL;DR: Bolocam as mentioned in this paper, a bolometric camera for millimeter-wave observations at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory, has 144 diffraction-limited detectors operating at 300 mK, an 8 arcminute field of view, and a sky noise limited NEFD of approximately 35 mJy Hz-1/2 per pixel at (lambda) equals 1.4 mm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Feed horn coupled bolometer arrays for SPIRE - design, simulations, and measurements

TL;DR: In this paper, the design, modeling, and measurements of feed horn coupled large bolometer arrays being developed for the Herschel Space Observatory's Spectral and Photometric Imaging REceiver (SPIRE) instrument were presented.
