HERITAGE Catalog Definitions
Overview
The HERschel Inventory of The Agents of Galaxy Evolution (HERITAGE) open time key program mapped the Large
Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) at 100, 160, 250, 350, and 500 microns using Herschel's
PACS and SPIRE instruments. The overriding science goal of HERITAGE is to study the life cycle of matter as
traced by dust in the LMC and SMC.
If you use HERITAGE data, please cite Meixner et al. (2013).
