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. This is Herschel program KPOT_mmeixner_1. The PI is Margaret Meixner. If you use HERITAGE data, please cite the journal articles Meixner et al. (2013) for the survey and Seale et al. (2014) for the band-matched catalogs, as well as the dataset Digital Object Identifier (DOI): 10.26131/IRSA76. Jump to documentation.
