Properties of ALMAGAL targets as a function of the number of cores (N_core) revealed in their interior. Top: fluxes in the five Hi-GAL bands and their averages in bins of ΔN_core = 1. The core-band correspondence is reported in the legend. Middle: temperature determined using a modified-blackbody fit to the Hi-GAL SEDs and its average. Bottom: as in the top panel, but for the product of flux densities and the squared distance. In both the top and bottom panels, a break in the red curve corresponds to a bin populated by sources without a 500 μm detection.
