Comparison of the CMFs in W43-MM1 for this work (cat-n, 127 cores, in red) and for the catalogue of Motte et al. (2018b) (cat-o, 131 cores, in blue). (a) The differential CMFs show that the peak of the distributions are located at similar masses and close to the adopted completeness (1.6 M_⊙, represented by a vertical dash line). (b) The cumulative CMFs are fitted by single power laws of the form N(>log(M) ∝ M^α with α = −0.82 ± 0.05 for cat-n and α = −0.96 ± 0.02 for cat-o.
