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.

TL;DR: In this article, a 3x10^7 solar masses ring of dense and cold clouds orbiting the Galactic Center was deduced using a simple toy-model, an elliptical shape having semi-major axes of 100 and 60 parsecs is deduced and the major axis of this 100-pc ring is inclined by about 40 degrees with respect to the plane of the sky and is oriented perpendicular to the major axes of the Galactic Bar.

TL;DR: The Hi-GAL DR1 image catalogues as discussed by the authors contains 123210, 308509, 280685, 160972 and 85460 compact sources in the five wavebands at 70, 160, 250, 350 and 500 micron.

TL;DR: The first public release of high-quality data products (DR1) from Hi-GAL, the Herschel infrared Galactic Plane Survey, is presented in this paper, which is the keystone of a suite of continuum Galactic plane surveys from the near-IR to the radio and covers five wavebands at 70, 160, 250, 350 and 500 mu m.

TL;DR: In this paper, a power spectrum analysis of the Herschel-SPIRE observations of the Polaris flare, a high Galactic latitude cirrus cloud midway between the diffuse and molecular phases, is presented.
