Abstract

The Herschel Key Project SHINING performs a study of the ISM in star forming and active infrared bright galaxies (starbursts, AGN, (U)LIRGs, interacting and low metallicity galaxies) at local and intermediate redshifts. Here we present some surprising and promising first results from parts of this programme, including spatially resolved PDR diagnostics, line deficit diagnostics, and large scale molecular outflows traced by the OH molecule.
