Distribution of filament widths in the norther (colored) and southern (gray) regions of Orion A (see Fig. 2) calculated using Gaussian fits (top left panel), the second moment of distribution (bottom right panel), and Plummer-like fits with power law indices p = 2 (top right panel) and p = 4 (bottom left panel). The vertical dashed lines represent the filament widths from Hacar et al. (2018) in red, and the “characteristic” filament width (Arzoumanian et al. 2011) in black. The dot-dashed line indicates the beam-size of our observations.
