Mass distribution of clustered clumps with HDEs (left panel), with and without HDEs (middle panel), and without recomputing masses (right panel). For masses that are recomputed, we considered Eq. (6) and the ratio , where D_peak is the distance of the cluster candidates and D the individual distance of clumps. The two plots corresponds to the function Φ (Eq. (7)) versus mass. The red lines corresponds to the fitting segments on the CMF, which provide the slopes. α₁, α₂, and α₃ and the break masses, M₁ and M₂. The three considerations do not alter the shape or slopes of the CMFs.
