Scientific paper

HCO(+) emission has been detected toward the nucleus of NGC 253. The line profile is similar to those of CO and HCN emission from this source. The ratio of integrated HCO(+) and HCN intensities is essentially unity, similar to the value seen in M82 and in typical Galactic giant molecular clouds. Null results have also been obtained for HCO(+) emission in several other galaxies and for HNC emission toward M82. The potential significance of HCO(+) observations as measurements of cosmic-ray densities within and among galaxies is discussed.
