The Herschel Virgo Cluster Survey (HeViCS) is a survey of about 55 sq deg of the
nearby Virgo galaxy cluster, obtained with the Herschel Space Observatory using
the instruments PACS and SPIRE in parallel mode. It provides a wavelength
coverage in five bands from about 100 to 600 microns. The science goals include:
a) The detection of dust in the intra-cluster medium, b) Extended cold dust
around galaxies, c) FIR-submm luminosity functions, d) The UV to sub-mm spectral
energy distribution of galaxies of various morphological types, e) The detection
of dust in dwarf and giant elliptical galaxies.
