Table 6

Properties of the Perseus molecular cloud as a whole in three different regimes of column density.

N(H₂)	M	Area	Med(T)	M_d(α,δ)
(10²¹ cm⁻²)	(M_⊙)	(degrees²)	(K)	(M_⊙)	(pc)

Notes. The table lists: mass M, area, and median temperatureMed(T); the column labelled M_d(α,δ) gives the mass as in Table 5 using Eq. (1) for the distance; is the mean distance. ^(a) Minimum value in our map is 2.51 × 10²⁰ cm⁻²; ^(b) area is in arcmin².
