Notes. (a)The best-fit shape for each cloud. ‘LN’ denotes log-normal, ‘PL’ power law, and ‘LN+PL’ a combination. Clouds that did not reach 2 mag were not fitted, and are marked with a long dash. Clouds that were not well fitted by any model are marked with a questionmark. (b)The limit of the last closed contour. The fits were performed above this limit.
