Herschel observations of EXtra-Ordinary Sources (HEXOS) Overview
HEXOS Overview Data Access: Orion Data Access: Sgr B2

Overview

Herschel observations of EXtra-Ordinary Sources (HEXOS) is a Herschel Guaranteed Time Key Program (KPGT_ebergin_1). Using the HIFI instrument, HEXOS performed unbiased submillimeter spectral line surveys of five star forming regions in the Orion and Sagittarius B2 molecular clouds: Orion KL, Orion S, Orion Bar, Sgr B2 N+M. These data provide access to strong molecular line emission and represent an important resource for exploring the chemistry of the dense ISM.
