Dissipative structures of diffuse molecular gas: I - Broad HCO$^+$(1-0) emission.
Résumé
Results: We report the detection of broad HCO+(1-0) lines (10 mK < T < 0.5 K). The interpretation of 10 of the HCO+ velocity components is conducted in conjunction with that of the associated optically thin 13CO emission. The derived HCO+ column densities span a broad range, $10^{11}< N(HCO+)/\Delta v <4 \times 10^{12} \rm cm^2/(km/s^{-1}$, and the inferred HCO+ abundances, $2 \times 10^{-10}
