Notes. (1) Best fitting model. E = low column density error slope, L = log-normal, P = power law tail. (2,3) Peaks of log-normal parts of the N-PDF in AV. (4,5) Widths of log-normal parts of the N-PDF in units of η. (6) Deviation point in AV where the N-PDF changes from log-normal into a PLT. (7) Deviation point in AV for the change in slope from a first to a second PLT. (8,9) Slopes of PLTs.
