Abstract

A decade of galaxy observations at the Crawford Hill 7 m antenna are summarized. Significant results include the mapping of spiral arms in CO, the demonstration that gas in many spiral galaxies is roughly half atomic and half molecular, the detection of extragalactic HCO+, CS, 13CO and C18O, and the observation of molecular material in the halo of M82.
