Notes. The two values given in each column from Cols. 4–13 are the median and equivalent standard deviation (scaled from the interquartilerange) of the corresponding filament property in each field. Columns: (1) field name. (2) Effective spatial resolution (in pc) of the column density map used in each field. (3) Number of filaments in each field from the selected sample. (4)–(7) Median background column density, central column density, background dust temperature, and central dust temperature of the selected filaments in each field, respectively. (8) Median filament length in each field, derived from integrating the filament crests traced with DisPerSE. (9) Median deconvolved diameter (hddec) of the filament column density profiles in each field. (10) Median deconvolved angular width () of the selected filaments in each field. (11) Median deconvolved width (FWHMdec in pc) of the selected filaments in each field. (12) Median outer diameter (2Rout) of the selected filaments in each field. (13) Median mass per unit length () of the selected filaments in each field. The bottom five rows of the table give the observed range (i.e., minimum and maximum values), the median value, the interquartile range (IQR), the mean value, and the standard deviation (Stdev) of each property in the whole sample of 599 selected filaments.
