onCMF (blue dots) and outCMF (red dots) derived from the cores on and outside of filaments, respectively (Sect. 2.3). The two different power-law slopes for the two CMFs at the high-mass end (over 10 M) are −2.30 and −2.83 for on CMF (black solid line) and outCMF (green solid line), respectively. This analysis highlights a tendency of high-mass cores to be preferentially located on filaments. The allCMF (gray dots) also has the similar power-law slope −2.30 at the high-mass end (over 10 M). The initial mass function from Kroupa & Weidner (2003) is shown by a dashed line.
