Notes. The fields analyzed in this paper correspond only to part of the regions covered by the Herschel Gould Belt survey (HGBS; see http://gouldbelt-herschel.cea.fr). Column 1: cloud name. Column 2: color code used to represent each cloud in the plots shown throughout the paper. Column 3: default distance adopted for each region. See references for details. Column 4: apparent surface area in square degrees of (the portion of) each cloud analyzed in the paper. Column 5: physical surface area in pc2 of (the portionof) each cloud analyzed in the paper. Column 6: total gas mass derived from integrating the Herschel column density mapof each cloud over the surface area given in Cols. 4 and 5, adopting a mean molecular weight per hydrogen molecule μH_2 =2.8. Column 7: fraction of dense gas mass in each cloud, where dense gas is defined based on column density, cm−2 (see Könyves et al. 2015). Column 8: fraction of cloud area occupied by dense gas with
cm−2 in the plane of the sky.
