Notes (3) Cumulative mass of cores, listed in Table E.2. Uncertainties arise from those associated with individual core mass estimates. (4) Mass range used to fit a power-law to the cumulative form of the CMFs. The lower limit of this mass range is the 90% completeness limit (see Appendix C and Sect. 5.1) or 2 M⊙; its upper limit corresponds to the maximum core mass detected or 16 M⊙. (5) Power law index of the CMFs in their cumulative form, N(> log M) ∝ Mα. Uncertainties are estimated by varying dust temperature and emissivity and by taking into account the fit uncertainty notably associated with a completeness limit uncertainty of ±0.2 M⊙ (see Sect. 5.2).
