The Herschel Inner Galaxy Gas Survey (HIGGS) is a Herschel Key Project to use the HIFI and PACS instruments to observe [CII], [NII], [OI], [OIII], and high-J CO emission lines in focused regions near the Galactic Center. By separating and evaluating the distinctly different roles of the central nuclear engine, the Galactic Bar, and dynamical stellar and interstellar feedback mechanisms, HIGGS is providing a high-resolution template for the physical processes in galactic nuclei throughout the local universe, in particular those engaged in starburst activity.
As the satellite continues to collect data in our survey regions, our team has continued to be impressed by the quality of Herschel data and the surprises to be found in the bands that it has made accessible.
