Overview
The Herschel Gould Belt Survey is one of the largest Herschel Key Projects (KPGT_pandre_1).
It conducted extensive far-infrared and submillimeter mapping of nearby
molecular clouds with both the SPIRE and PACS instruments. It covered the bulk
of the nearest (d ≤ 0.5 kpc) cloud complexes in the Galaxy, which are mostly
located in the Gould Belt, a giant (700 pc by 1000 pc), flat structure inclined
by 20d to the Galactic plane.
