Notes. To minimise incompleteness effects, the adopted lower-mass ends are log(M∕M⊙)= 0.8–1.2 for the fits (i.e. the central value of the bin next to the peak) and log(M∕M⊙) = 0.8 for the ML computations (1.2 and 1.2, respectively, for CLUMPFIND). (a)Three different dust temperatures were used: 12.5 K for cores in the south, 20 K for cores in the centre, and 16 K for cores in the north of Vela C (see text).
