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 will provide a high-resolution template for the physical processes in galactic nuclei throughout the local universe, in particular those engaged in starburst activity.
In September, we collected our first Herschel spectra and our early analysis shows this region to be even more fascinating than we had anticipated. We look forward to sharing our excitement with the broader astronomical community.
