Notes. VLA Observation of sources in Fig. 1 with their basic parameters from other studies. From the left to the right are RA (J2000), Dec (J2000), l, b, distance (kpc), mass (104 M), size (pc), IR dark/bright, alter-name. For 5 filamentray IRDCs, we adopt their sizes from Wang et al. (2015), others’ sizes are measured from the dust maps of the ATLASGAL.
