Description We propose imaging with PACS (70+160 mciron) and SPIRE to ensure fullresolved far-infrared (FIR) spectral energy distribution (SED)coverage of a complete equatorial sample of star-forminggalaxies. This sample consists of every equatorial, face-on,star-forming galaxy of large angular extent and luminosity larger thanM33. Because of their accessibility to all major facilities,particularly ALMA and the EVLA, these are the natural targets of thenext generation of local galaxy studies. Herschel data are critical toestimate star formation rates, dust masses, and energetics in thesegalaxies and no comparable coverage of the IR SED will be possible inthe foreseeable future. Without our proposed program only 13 of the 67galaxies in this key sample will have high resolution data that spanthe IR peak, hindering studies of the life cycle of dust, dependenceof star formation on host galaxy and local conditions, and developmentof robust calibrations of star formation rate tracers and theCO-to-H$_2$ conversion factor. Observations of this sample thereforewould represent a key part of Herschels legacy and significantlyenhance the nearby galaxy science from the next generations ofnorthern and southern telescopes. In order to ensure maximal yieldfrom both Herschel and ALMA/EVLA, we commit to waive our proprietaryperiod 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.
