Massvs. deconvolved size for (a) all cores; (b) 70 μm dark cores cleaned from WISE-associated cores; (c) 70 μm bright cores plus cores associated with WISE sources. Cores with a deconvolved size smaller than half the beam size have been discarded. Small filled squares mark cores in the active region, whereas open green triangles mark cores in the quiescent region. The critical half-mass loci of Bonnor-Ebert spheres are drawn for T = 20 K and T = 30 K (black dash-dotted lines). The dotted red line marks the completeness limit for T = 20 K dust (from Eq. (3)). Linear (log-log) fits are indicated by a solid (cores in the quiescent region) and a dashed (cores in the active region) line.
