The Herschel space observatory allows for the study of the warm disc atmosphere, using far-infrared spectroscopy to measure gas content and excitation conditions, and far-IR photometry to constrain the dust distribution. Aims - We aim to detect and characterize the gas content of circumstellar discs in four targets as part of the Herschel science demonstration phase. Methods - We carried out sensitive medium resolution spectroscopy and high sensitivity photometry at lambda ~60-190 micron using the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer instrument on the Herschel space observatory. Results - We detect [OI] 63 micron emission from the young stars HD 169142, TW Hydrae, and RECX 15, but not HD 181327. No other lines, including [CII] 158 and [OI] 145, are significantly detected. All four stars are detected in photometry at 70 and 160 micron. Extensive models are presented in associated papers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-05-21T00:22:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.28.an", "20.10.pd", "90.48.am", "79.76.an", "64.43.an", "91.42.an" ], "keywords": [ "protoplanetary discs", "first results", "herschel space observatory", "circumstellar discs", "herschel science demonstration phase" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1051/0004-6361/201014595", "journal": "Astronomy and Astrophysics", "year": 2010, "month": "Jul", "volume": 518 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 855978, "adsabs": "2010A&A...518L.127M" } } }
