Description We propose PACS+SPIRE observations from 70 to 500 micron of the giant (180
kpc across), massive (virgul5.5 10^10 Msun of HI), strongly star-forming collisional
ring around NGC5291, a unique gas-rich object in the nearby Universe. These
observations, in combination with available data and models, will allow us to not
only study star formation and the dust properties in an unusual and
extreme environment, but also to get insight into the nature
of Dark Matter. Indeed our team showed that the gravitationally bound objects
formed within the ring of NGC5291 contain an unexpected dark component. It is
thought that this matter should be baryonic as the material in the collisional ring
comes from galactic disks. The most likely candidate is H_2 that is not properly
traced by CO. Herschel will allow us to trace this unseen component through dust
emission and constrain its nature. The method requires to characterize the dust
properties and estimate the dust/gas mass ratio, which are not known in
collisional rings and might differ from those in other environments. Indeed,
collisional rings are created by high speed collisions. The strong shocks generated
by the impact have likely affected the dust properties. Through state-of-the-art
modeling of the SED from the UV to the radio, we will constrain the properties of
the dust such as their temperature, the distribution of the grain sizes, etc.
Addressing the question of dust processing in high-speed collisions is
fundamental to derive the molecular gas mass. Finally having an accurate estimate
of the total molecular mass, we will be able to address star formation laws, in
particular the Schmidt-Kennicutt relation which is suspected not to be
universal. This will allow us to determine whether it varies with the environment,
having selected an extreme one, such as the collisional ring of NGC5291. The
project wil...l require the combination of already available VLA HI observations, star
formation tracers and Herschel PACS+SPIRE photometry.

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.
