| Description | NGC 281 is a remarkable laboratory for studying the complexinteractions between a massive star and a molecular cloud.Chandra and Spitzer data combined with ground-based data show a partial bubble of cold molecular gas surroundingan HII region. Within the HII region, an elongated bubbleof 10virgulMK gas is detected by Chandra. We propose PACS and SPIRE observations to map the distribution of dust and protostars in NGC 281. The distribution of protostars will be used to search for triggered star formation at the cloud/HII region interface and to examine evidence for two modes of triggered star formation. The dust distribution will be used to map the interactionof the molecular cloud and the HII region. Of additional interestis the presence of dust toward the hot, X-ray emitting gas.Such dust may facilitate charge-exchange with ions givingrise to high energy lines observed in the hot plasma. |

| 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. |
