Characterisation of the submillimeter excess in dwarf galaxies: Presentation of the Herschel Dwarf Galaxies Survey

The Herschel Space Observatory is revolutionizing our view of dust in galaxies with high sensitivity observations in the far infrared(FIR)/submillimeter (submm) regime from 70 to 500 μm. Herschel is confirming the submm excess that has been noted previously in low metallicity dwarfs. We present here the Dwarf Galaxies Survey sample through a Herschel colour-colour diagram. We will then focus on two galaxies, Haro11 and NGC4449 presenting different interesting behaviours in the FIR as revealed by Herschel.
