Description We propose imaging with PACS (70+160 mciron) and SPIRE to ensure full
resolved far-infrared (FIR) spectral energy distribution (SED)
coverage of a complete equatorial sample of star-forming
galaxies. This sample consists of every equatorial, face-on,
star-forming galaxy of large angular extent and luminosity larger than
M33. Because of their accessibility to all major facilities,
particularly ALMA and the EVLA, these are the natural targets of the
next generation of local galaxy studies. Herschel data are critical to
estimate star formation rates, dust masses, and energetics in these
galaxies and no comparable coverage of the IR SED will be possible in
the foreseeable future. Without our proposed program only 13 of the 67
galaxies in this key sample will have high resolution data that span
the IR peak, hindering studies of the life cycle of dust, dependence
of star formation on host galaxy and local conditions, and development
of robust calibrations of star formation rate tracers and the
CO-to-H _2 conversion factor. Observations of this sample therefore
would represent a key part of Herschel.s legacy and significantly
enhance the nearby galaxy science from the next generations of
northern and southern telescopes. In order to ensure maximal yield
from both Herschel and ALMA/EVLA, we commit to waive our proprietary
period and rapidly release our reduced data products.

Mission Description Herschel was launched on 14 May 2009! It is the fourth 'cornerstone' mission in the ESA science programme. With a 3.5 m Cassegrain telescope it is the largest space telescope ever launched. It is performing photometry and spectroscopy in approximately the 55-671 µm range, bridging the gap between earlier infrared space missions and groundbased facilities.
