"Herschel Ten Years After Launch: Science and Celebration", 13-14 May 2019, ESAC, Villafranca del Castillo, Madrid, Spain


Thanks to your positive responses the crazy idea was implemented and now has been documented!!

This event took place in connection with the 10th anniversary of the launch of Herschel (together with Planck). It was a celebration of Herschel and its science, as well as an attempt to place Herschel's science results in the context of what we know today. The format was a mini-workshop with invited and contributed presentations, with a social break around the time of the launch exactly ten years earlier.

All the workshop material, including the talks, posters, conference picture, and a new Herschel brochure ('Science and Legacy') are now available on the meeting webpage:

If you want a printed copy of the brochure please raise a Helpdesk ticket requesting it. Don't forget to provide a snail mail address!

Thanks to everyone who helped making this event - and several previous Herschel-related events - happen!


New (and final) version of the SPIRE Spectral Feature catalogue available

A new (and final) version of the SPIRE Spectral Feature catalogue has been produced and is available through the Herschel Science Archive for public access by the community.

The catalogue has been produced with the help of an automated spectral line fitting routine which detects significant spectral features within SPIRE spectra. It provides continuum fit parameters for low resolution and high resolution observations, as well as detected line features with their observed frequencies and signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) for high resolution observations. The catalogue also provides 'postcards' for both sparse and mapping observations illustrating the spectral features found and their respective SNR, as well as radial velocity estimates.

The feature finder routine shows 100% completeness for features with |SNR| ≥ 10 and 50-70% completeness down to |SNR| ≥ 5, with negative SNR indicative of absorption features.

The full SPIRE Automated Feature Extraction Catalogue (SAFECAT) contains 167,525 spectral feature identifications at |SNR|
≥ 5 from 641 sparse and 179 mapping observations made with SPIRE.

"Millimetron Workshop 2019: Capabilities and Science Objectives of the Millimetron Space Observatory", 9-11 September 2019, Paris, France

The Millimetron Space Observatory (MSO), an approved project of the Russian Federal Space Agency, is a space mission with a 10 m cooled (<20 K), deployable telescope to be equipped with state-of-the-art receivers, enabling breakthrough observations in the mm/submm to far infrared wavelength range. Millimetron can operate in single-dish mode or as a station in a space-ground VLBI network.

This workshop is organised in order to inform the community about the mission, and is also intended to start a process of getting more groups from outside of Russia involved in the definition of science objectives and acquisition of instrumentation.

The meeting website provides all information:

Important dates:

Contributed papers with abstract: deadline 30 June 2019
Posters with abstract: deadline 30 July 2019
Registration: before 30 August 2019 - no registration fee
