Kirk & the Herschel Gould Belt KP Consortium Ph. André - The millimeter and submillimeter sky in the Planck mission era - Paris 12 Jan 2011
2 The Herschel Gould Belt Survey SPIRE/PACS µm imaging of the bulk of nearby (d < 0.5 kpc) molecular clouds (~ 160 deg 2 ), mostly located in Gould s Belt. Complete census of prestellar cores and Class 0 protostars. Taurus Perseus Cepheus Serpens Aquila Ophiuchus Lupus Gould Belt Chamaeleon CrA Orion IRAS 100 µm ~ 15 resolution at λ ~ 200 µm ~ 0.02 pc < Jeans d = 300 pc Motivation: Key issues on the early stages of star formation Nature of the relationship between the CMF and the IMF? What generates prestellar cores and what governs their evolution to protostars and proto-brown dwarfs?

19 Origin of the filaments: Large-scale turbulence? Numerical simulations including large-scale turbulence: Padoan, Juvela, Goodman, Nordlund (2001) Klessen & Burkert (2000) Li & Nakamura (2004) Also: Bate, Bonnell, Bromm (2003) Basu, Ciolek et al. (2009) Hennebelle, Banerjee, Vazquez-Semadeni et al. (2008) Duffin, Pudritz et al. 2010
20 Turbulence dissipation and filament formation In Polaris, one of the most tenuous filaments detected by SPIRE coincides with a CO(2-1) structure of intense velocity shear (~ 40 km/s/pc) found at IRAM 30m (Hily-Blant & Falgarone 2009) SPIRE 250 µm 0.8 Jy/b SPIRE 250 µm + CO(2-1) CVI 0.1 Jy/b 1 deg ~ 2.6 pc 10 ~ 0.45 pc
21 Filaments permeate the ISM on all scales Herschel SPIRE 500 µm + PACS 160/70 µm (from ~0.1 pc to > 50 pc) Planck HFI 540/350 µm + IRAS 100 µm Aquila ESA and the Gould Belt KP ESA and the HFI Consortium
22 Conclusions First results from Herschel on prestellar cores are very promising: Confirm the close link between the prestellar CMF and the IMF, although the whole survey will be required to fully characterize the nature of this link. Suggest that prestellar core formation occurs in 2 main steps: 1) Filaments form first in the cold ISM, probably as a result of the dissipation of MHD turbulence; 2) The densest filaments then fragment into prestellar cores via gravitational instability above a critical column density threshold Σ th ~ 150 M pc -2 Spectroscopic and polarimetric observations required to clarify the roles of turbulence, B fields, gravity in forming the filaments.
