Cumulative distributions of the clump luminosities (upper panel), the L/M ratios of the respective clumps (middle panel), and clump dust temperatures (lower panel) in M8 and for sources of the full and distance-limited ATLASGAL sample. The M8 distributions shown in the orange colour are corrected based on the results of Appendix B. The dotted orange distribution only contains M8 clumps that have a nearby counterpart in the ATLASGAL sample. The p-values of KS tests between selected samples are provided as grey text.
