HCO+ and HCN obs. toward Planck Galactic Cold Clumps

Observations in the J=1-0 transitions of HCO^+^ and HCN toward 621 molecular cores associated with PGCCs were performed using the Purple Mountain Observatory's 13.7m telescope. Among them, 250 sources were detected, including 230 cores detected in HCO^+^ and 158 in HCN.

Spectra of the J=1-0 transitions from ^12^CO, ^13^CO, and C^18^O at the centers of the 250 cores were extracted from previous mapping observations to construct a multi-line data set. The significantly low detection rate of asymmetric double-peaked profiles, together with the good consistency among central velocities of CO, HCO^+^, and HCN spectra, suggests that the CO-selected Planck cores are more quiescent than classical star-forming regions.
