Description In observational studies of the high-redshift universe, the potential
of the HI Lyman-alpha (Lya) to answer open cosmological questions is
well established. This potential, however, is hampered by the fact that
Lya is a resonant line, scatters in HI, and undergoes a complicated
radiative transport. It has recently been suggested that certain structural
geometries of the multiphase ISM could be even more important than the
overall dust content in regulating the Lya visibility. The simplest scenario
to unify the requirements for Lya with what we know about the phases of the
ISM in galaxies is that these scattering surfaces must be the typical
photodissociation regions (PDR), surrounding dusty molecular clouds within.

Currently there is no observational test of this theory. We propose here
to obtain unresolved PACS spectroscopy of the [C II] and [O I] lines, and
photometric observations in all three channels, of 10 galaxies in the local
LARS (Lyman Alpha Reference Sample) sample. These data will allow us to
1) Measure the total mass of PDR gas and contrast it against the total HI
mass (already obtained). We will test the hypothesis that when more of the
HI is condensed around high-density clumps, the ISM is more conducive to
the transmission of Lya photons. 2) We will use the [O I]/[C II] ratio and
the total ratio of ([O I]+[C II])/FIR in conjunction with PDR modelling,
to constrain the HI density in PDRs. 3) From the PACS photometric points we
will model the IR SED, compute dust masses, gas-to-dust ratios, attenuation
from UV/FIR, and contrast them all against Lya properties.

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.
