1. VNGS science highlight: PDR models of M51
[CII]/[OI]63
Similar gas properties in arm and interarm regions.
([CII]+[OI]63)/FTIR
Higher densities and stronger radiation fields in center
T. Parkin et al., 2013, ApJ

2. Priorities for future work
Continue analysis of FTS data
M83: Wu et al (referee report received)
M51: (Schirm et al., analysis underway)
Other galaxies: Cen A, NGC 891
Continue analysis of PACS spectroscopy
NGC 891 (Hughes et al., first draft circulated)
Other galaxies: NGC 5195, M81, NGC 2403, M83 (outer strip only)
Overview/cross-galaxy comparison paper(s)? Dust? Gas? Combined?
Note: not clear who will work on remaining data …

4. Other plans and analysis techniques
PACS spectroscopy cubes fully processed and ready to submit to the Herschel archive
Foyle et al. (2013) paper on M83 applied getsources to an extragalactic source (see also Natale, Foyle et al for M33)
Analysis of FTS intermediate sampled maps underway using source-correction tool from Wu et al. (2013) in hipe
Last data delivery will be FTS spectroscopy
Need to think about what products it makes sense to deliver beyond the basic processed hipe data
