Herschel observations of extraordinary sources: full Herschel/HIFI molecular line survey of Sagittarius B2(M) [PDF]
Context. We present a full analysis of a broadband spectral line survey of Sagittarius B2 (Main), one of the most chemically rich regions in the Galaxy located within the giant molecular cloud complex Sgr B2 in the central molecular zone. Aims. Our goal is to derive the molecular abundances and temperatures of the high-mass star-forming region Sgr B2(M)

Uranus’s and Neptune’s Stratospheric Water Abundance and Vertical Profile from Herschel-HIFI* [PDF]
Abstract Here we present new constraints on Uranus’s and Neptune’s externally sourced stratospheric water abundance using disk-averaged observations of the 557 GHz emission line from Herschel’s Heterodyne Instrument for the Far-Infrared. Derived stratospheric column water abundances are

Herschel/HIFI observations of red supergiants and yellow hypergiants [PDF]
Red supergiant stars (RSGs) and yellow hypergiant stars (YHGs) are believed to be the high-mass counterparts of stars in the AGB and early post-AGB phases. We study the mass-loss in the post main-sequence evolution of massive stars, through the properties of their envelopes in the intermediate and warm gas layers.

The first results from the Herschel-HIFI mission [PDF]
This paper contains a summary of the results from the first years of observations with the HIFI instrument onboard ESA's Herschel space observatory. The paper starts by outlining the goals and possibilities of far-infrared and submillimeter astronomy, the limitations of the Earth's atmosphere, and the scientific scope of the Herschel-HIFI mission.

Herschel/HIFI line surveys: Discovery of interstellar chloronium (H2Cl+) [PDF]
Prior to the launch of Herschel, HCl was the only chlorine-containing molecule detected in the interstellar medium (ISM). However, chemical models have identified chloronium, H_2Cl^+, as a relatively abundant species that is potentially detectable. H_2Cl^+ was predicted to be most abundant in the environments where the ultraviolet radiation is strong ...

Herschel/HIFI observations of O-rich AGB stars: molecular inventory [PDF]
Spectra, taken with the heterodyne instrument, HIFI, aboard the Herschel Space Observatory, of O-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars which form part of the guaranteed time key program HIFISTARS are presented. The aim of this program is to study the dynamical structure, mass-loss driving mechanism, and chemistry of the outflows from AGB stars as a ...

PROBING THE RADIAL TEMPERATURE STRUCTURE OF PROTOPLANETARY DISKS WITH HERSCHEL /HIFI [PDF]
Herschel/HIFI spectroscopic observations of CO J=10-9, CO J=16-15 and [CII] towards HD 100546 are presented. The objective is to resolve the velocity profile of the lines to address the emitting region of the transitions and directly probe the distribution of warm gas in the disk.
