| Abstract: |
In the framework of the HIFISTARS guaranteed time
key programme, we measured more than 70 molecular emission lines
with high signal-to-noise ratio towards VY CMa using the
high-resolution HIFI spectrometer (de Graauw et al. 2010) on board the
Herschel1 satellite. The kinematic information obtained from the measured
water lines supports the hypothesis of multiple outflow components.
The observed strong maser lines give no indication for polarisation. |
