Outcome of the correlation experiment for the distributed stellar population across the Lupus cloud complex. Figure 3a shows the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the ratio of normalised accretion rates between pairs separated by less than (blue) and more than (red) the threshold separation ∆θ_th = 1°. Faint blue and red points are bootstrapping experiments where we shuffle the normalised accretion rates between star locations. Figure 3b a similar CDF for stellar masses, which are not correlated. Figure 3c shows statistical significance as a function of the threshold ∆θ_th.
