| Description | We propose to obtain PACS C II 157.7 micon line spectra of 10 bright debris disks around dusty, A-type stars (with 70 micron fluxes >0.4 Jy) that are expected to be gas-rich if circumstellar gas in debris disks is generated via collisinal vaporization and/or photo desorption. C II isexpected to be the dominant cooling line in debris disks. The highluminosity and UV flux of A-type stars is expected to efficiently producesecond-generation gas. We plan to (1) constrain directly the gas:dustratio in debris disks, (2) test models for the production of second-generation gas from circumstellar dust, and (3) extrapolate thecomposition of undetected parent bodies. Since the C II line emissionfrom debris disks is relatively faint, PACS is required to conduct theseobservations |

| 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. |
