Behavior of the β exponent for increasingly coarser resolutions for Orion A and Orion B. The data have been obtained by repeating the parameter inference for the model of Eqs. (18)and (19)on images smoothed with different kernel sizes. The dashed lines show the result of two simple rational fits for data of the form β = (β₀ + aFWHM) / (1 + b FWHM), which seems to reproduce the data well. The best-fit parameters obtained for the two clouds are β₀ = 1.82 ± 0.14 for Orion A and β₀ = 1.92 ± 0.24 for Orion B.
