Why HCO+ ?• m = 3.89 D
• High critical density (ncr ~ 105 cm-3) indicates that HCO+ emission is present in dense gas around the Helix– CO: m = 0.11 D; ncr ~ 103 cm-3
• Dense gas is shielding and can preserve molecules

Summary• The HCO+ emission is coincident with the CO
emission, indicating that dense gas exists throughout the Helix
• Molecular distribution corresponds with atomic emission, indicating that molecular material is ubiquitous.
• The model for the structure of the Helix has been improved.
