Profiles along the spines, where each column denotes a different filament (north-west in red, north-east in blue, north in green and south-east in grey). The origin of each spine was centred at the hub region. The first row plots the column density of H₂ calculated from the fitted NH₃ integrated intensity. The second row plots the FWHM velocity width, while the third row plots the absolute centroid line-of-sight velocity (offset from the cloud systemic velocity of 37 km s⁻¹), both also from the hyperfine structure fitting. The fourth row plots the absolute velocity gradient evaluated over the mean core size of ~0.1 pc. The fifth row plots the rotational temperature derived from the NH₃ emission (see Appendix B.2) which has a standard deviation of 1.8 K. The drops of temperature below 8 K are artificial and due to missing NH₃ (2,2) detections at these particular locations. The vertical shaded regions in each panel correspond to the peak N(H₂) positions of the cores along the spine, and are ~0.1 pc wide.
