Mass segregation analysis of our Hyades data and comparison with Ernst et al. (2011). Top: full sample (candidates with |v_⊥| < 4 km s^-1). Bottom: reduced sample with velocity cut as explained in the text and statistical removal of contaminants. The left hand-side shows the “cumulative” Γ_MST (points) for the 5 (red), 10 (green), 20 (blue), 50 (magenta), 100 (cyan), 200 (brown), 500 (orange) most massive, and all stars (black). The right-hand side shows the “differential” Γ_MST (points) for the 5 (red), 6–10 (green), 11–20 (blue), 21–50 (magenta), 51–100 (cyan), 101–200 (brown), 201–500 (orange) most massive stars, and the remainder (black). The error bars mark the 1-σ uncertainties ΔΓ_MST. The black solid line and the grey region represent Γ_MST and ΔΓ_MST for the data of R11, respectively.
