Abstract

The JCMT Gould Belt survey has now collected 25 % of its SCUBA-2 data. We report on the quality of these data, and demonstrate how we can map all of the star-formation in the Gould Belt down to our original sensitivity in our allocated time. We describe how the SCUBA-2 and Herschel datasets are highly complementary, and how the SCUBA-2 data add value to the Herschel data, giving a more reliable measure of the column density at higher angular resolution.
