Observations of HDO are an important complement for studies of water, because they givestrong constraints on the formation processes – grain surfaces versusenergetic process in the gas phase, e.g. in shocks. The HIFIobservations of multiple transitions of HDO in Sgr B2(M) presented here allow thedetermination of the HDO abundance throughout the envelope, which has not been possiblebefore with ground-based observations only. For more details, see Comito et al.(2010).
