Longitudinal column density profiles of filament 8 (left panel) and filament 10 (right panel). In both cases, the column density profiles (red curves) were obtained from the original high-resolution (18.2″) column density map. Left panel: cores # 32 and 34 partly overlap and they were deblended by getsources using an iterative method. The inferred structure of these two cores is shown by the blue-dashed Gaussian profiles. The four cores in the right panel are clearly separated from one another and they did not require any deblending.
