Description of our Archival Program<br />
Archival (publicly available) survey us<strong>in</strong>g photometric and<br />
spectroscopic data of all <strong>the</strong> galaxies (~300) observed with Herschel-<br />
SPIRE’s Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS).<br />
This sample span a wide range <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> far-<strong>in</strong>frared lum<strong>in</strong>osity (L FIR)<br />
and galaxy types.<br />
CO spectral l<strong>in</strong>e energy distributions (SLEDs) from <strong>the</strong>se spectra<br />
will be uniformly re-reduced, re-calibrated and modeled to estimate<br />
<strong>the</strong> physical conditions and reservoir of <strong>the</strong> molecular gas<br />
Application of consistent methodology for data reduction and<br />
model<strong>in</strong>g across <strong>the</strong> entire sample will enable accurate comparison<br />
between different galaxies
