The extended submillimeter emission is studied from Herschel observations of the extragalactic First-Look Survey field, made with the 250, 350 and 500 μm channels of the Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) instrument as part of the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES). The analysis divides into two parts. First, the Herschel maps and the IRAS 100 μm map are low-pass-filtered and smoothed to the 10 arcminute resolution of the HI map of Lockman & Condon (2006). The infrared maps are used to determine dust temperature and emissivity, for components of the cirrus that are clearly identified in the HI map. The infrared emission per H-atom is compared to ISM models. The second part of the analysis exploits the relatively high spatial resolution of the Herschel-SPIRE data to search for variations in the color of the dust emission within individual cirrus components.
This work is based on observations made with Herschel, a European Space Agency Cornerstone Mission with significant participation by NASA. Support for this work was provided by NASA through an award issued by JPL/Caltech.
