Scientific paper

The Herschel Inner Galaxy Gas Survey (HIGGS) is an approved 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 will provide a high-resolution template for the physical processes in galactic nuclei throughout the local universe, in particular those engaged in starburst activity.
HIGGS is participating in Herschel's Science Demonstration Phase, so we may be able to show a small early sample of the wonderful data Herschel is capable of collecting.
Funding for HIGGS has been provided by NASA and time on Herschel by ESA.
