Description
ATCA in single-dish mode is able to map the HCO+ emission from ionised molecular gas. This not only traces ionisation, it can act as a finder chart for DCO+ observations to measure the cosmic-ray ionisation rate. I will present the state of our mapping of HCO+ towards the clouds around the W28 SNR, and outline future developments in molecular gas mapping.
