"Key Insights on Nearby Galaxies: A Far-Infrared Survey with Herschel"
(KINGFISH, KPOT_rkennicu_1)
is an imaging and spectroscopic survey of 61 nearby (d<30 Mpc) galaxies,
chosen to cover a wide range of galaxy properties and local interstellar medium
(ISM) environments. The broad goals of KINGFISH are to characterize the ISM of
present-day galaxies, the heating and cooling of their gaseous and dust
components, and to better understand the physical processes linking star
formation and the ISM.
