The Very Nearby Galaxy Survey (VNGS) is a Herschel Key Program (KPGT_cwilso01_1)
to measure the emission spectrum from dust as well as important cooling lines
from the gaseous interstellar medium in a sample of 13 very nearby galaxies
(M51, M81, NGC2403, NGC891, M83, M82, Arp220, NGC4038/39, NGC1068, NGC4151,
CenA, NGC4125, and NGC205). These galaxies have been chosen to probe as wide a
region in galaxy parameter space as possible while maximizing the achievable
spatial resolution and are already well-studied from X-ray and optical
through to radio wavelengths. The far-infrared and submillimeter wavelengths
probed by Herschel are absolutely crucial for understanding the physical
processes and properties of the interstellar medium, the interplay between
star formation and the interstellar medium in galaxies, and how they may
depend on the wider galaxian environment.
