Top Panels: Cumulative luminous mass distribution (top-left) and cumulative virial mass distribution (top-right) of the SMC clouds (black dots) at 9 pc resolution. In gray bars, the error in both axes is indicated. The vertical dotted line corresponds to the completeness limits (Mlum = 3.1 × 103 M⊙ and Mvir = 8.6 × 103 M⊙) from which the best fit is applied to the SMC spectra. The power-law model best fit (βpl = −2.4) is shown in black dashed lines, while the truncated model (βpl ≃ −2.2) best fit is shown with magenta dot-dashed lines. Bottom Panels: The CMD of the SW, NE, and WG clouds are indicated in green, red, and yellow dots, respectively. In gray dot-dashed lines, the best fit of these CMDs is indicated. In the case of the WG clouds, the black arrows indicate the completeness limits (Mlum = 7.15 × 102M⊙and Mvir = 4.0 × 103M⊙).
