# Acknowledgements

  Every work using Herschel Gould Belt survey data should include the following acknowledgement text:

  This research has made use of data from the Herschel Gould Belt survey (HGBS) project
  (http://gouldbelt-herschel.cea.fr). The HGBS is a Herschel Key Programme jointly carried out by
  SPIRE Specialist Astronomy Group 3 (SAG 3), scientists of several institutes in the PACS Consortium
  (CEA Saclay, INAF-IFSI Rome and INAF-Arcetri, KU Leuven, MPIA Heidelberg), and scientists of the
  Herschel Science Center (HSC).

# Description of data

  Several data products are provided for two regions in the following formats:

  ./HGBS_Aquila

    - *_070.fits.gz, ... *_500.fits.gz:
      PACS (070, 160 um) and SPIRE (250, 350, 500 um) maps in fits format. The data reduction tools/
      versions can be found in the headers. For a detailed description of the data treatment, see
      Könyves et al. (2015).

    - HGBS_aquilaM2_observed_core_catalog.txt:
      ASCII table of HGBS dense cores for the Aquila region, with verbose header.

    - HGBS_aquilaM2_derived_core_catalog.txt:
      ASCII table of derived core properties for the Aquila region, with verbose header.

    - HGBS_aquilaM2_core_blowups.pdf:
      Blow-up maps of all HGBS dense cores in Aquila at 70, 160, 250, 350, & 500 um, and H_2 column
      density.

    - HGBS_aquilaM2_core_SEDs.pdf:
      Spectral energy distributions of all HGBS dense cores in Aquila at Herschel wavelengths.

    - HGBS_aquilaM2_column_density_map.fits.gz and HGBS_aquilaM2_dust_temperature_map.fits.gz:
      H_2 column density and dust temperature maps of the Aquila region, as derived from HGBS data
      (see Könyves et al. 2015 for dust opacity assumptions).

  ./HGBS_TaurusL1495

    - *_070.fits.gz, ... *_500.fits.gz:
      PACS (070, 160 um) and SPIRE (250, 350, 500 um) maps in fits format. The data reduction tools/
      versions can be found in the headers. For a detailed description of the data treatment, see
      Marsh et al. (2015).

    - HGBS_taurusL1495_observed_core_catalog.txt:
      ASCII table of HGBS dense cores for the Taurus/L1495 region, with verbose header.

    - HGBS_taurusL1495_derived_core_catalog.txt:
      ASCII table of derived core properties for the Taurus/L1495 region, with verbose header.

    - HGBS_taurusL1495_core_blowups_and_SEDs.pdf:
      Spectral energy distributions and blow-up views of all HGBS dense cores in Taurus/L1495 at
      Herschel wavelengths (and in H_2 column density as well for the blow-ups).

    - HGBS_taurus_L1495_column_density_map.fits.gz and HGBS_taurus_L1495_dust_temperature_map.fits.gz:
      H_2 column density and dust temperature maps of the Taurus L1495 region, as derived from HGBS
      data (see Marsh et al. 2016 for dust opacity assumptions).
