Coordinates of column density peak (starless cores) or dust temperature peak (embedded source).

Mean diameter () and aspect ratio of the N_out column density contour listed in Table 5 for the globules (i.e., ≈2 × r_out, Eq. (3) and Fig. 3), and of the N_1′ contour (Eq. (10)) for the embedded cores (i.e., 2 × r_1′, Eq. (11)).

Measured inside the N_out contour (globules) or the N_1′ contour (cores), except where marked otherwise.

Morphology description based on visual inspection of DSS2-red optical images and Herschel dust emission maps: R: round or slightly elliptical; C: cometary-shaped; M: multiple cores; T(x): tail of length x pc.

CB 17 - IRS is identified in the PACS 100 μm map and as a local temperature maximum in the T-map, but cannot be separated from SMM in the column density map.

CB 26 - SMM1 and SMM2: ellipses, marked by dotted lines in Fig. B.4, were used instead of the N_1′ contour (cf. Sect. 5.3).

BHR 12: An ellipse, marked by dotted lines in Fig. B.6, was used instead of the N_1′ contour (cf. Sect. 5.3).

BHR 12: The two embedded sources SMM1 (Class I) and SMM2 (Class 0; sep. 21′′; see Launhardt et al. 2010) are not resolved here.

CB 130: additional low-mass prestellar core ~30′′ west and Class I YSO ~15′′ east of Class 0 core.

CB 230: the two embedded sources IRS1 and IRS2 (sep. 10′′; see Launhardt et al. 2010) are not resolved here.

CB 244 - SMM1: an ellipse, marked by dotted lines in Fig. B.12, was used instead of the N_1′ contour (cf. Sect. 5.3).
