Subregion name ΛMSR NMST range Mass segr. level
(1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
Outskirts <1 none
MM51 <1 none
MM10 3.1 2.3 ± 0.7 3 → 7 high
MM12 <1 none
MM2 2.6 5±2 3 → 6 very high
2.3 ± 0.4 7 → 14 high
1.8 ± 0.2 15 → 31 moderate
MM3 3.6 1.8 ± 0.4 3 → 15 moderate
Total 6.6

Notes. (2) Ratio of the local core surface density measured for the five most massive cores to that averaged for all cores in each W43-MM2&MM3 subregion. (3) and (4) Core mass segregation ratio computed from Eq. (7) over the NMST range. (5) Core mass segregation level (see Sect. 3.3); three regimes for the MM2 subregion corresponding to the plateaus observed in Fig. 8a.
