Additional information
As co-author of the proposal for the Herschel Legacy Programme HERITAGE, van Loon was heavily involved in the scientific interpretation of the far-IR emission from SN1987A. He and his PhD student (and co-author) Lakicevic set strong limits on the thermal and non-thermal emission from ionised gas, thus lending crucial support to the inference of dust in the ejecta. Ancillary mm and submm wavelength data that van Loon and Lakicevic analysed (published elsewhere) were critical in establishing that result with confidence. Van Loon also performed independent modelling of the cold dust emission from SN1987A, helping gain confidence in the final results presented in the Science paper.
