Notes. Columns are: total mass within the polygon defining the filament from Herschel H2 column density map (both lower and upper limit are given); N, mean column density from Herschel; n, mean H2 density derived from N/r with the beam deconvolved equivalent radius ; T, mean temperature; l, projected length; Ml, mass/length value from M/l given in Cols. 2 and 6 (both lower and upper limit are given); Ml,crit, critical mass/length derived from Eq. (3); Δvgrad, velocity gradient of the filament estimated from the C18O channel map, relative to the observer; tl, dynamical lifetime; , mass infall rate.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
