Comparison between the average column density Σ and the M^0.5/L ratio observed in the Hi-GAL filaments (> 18 000 filaments; Schisano et al. 2020) displayed using a hexagonal 2D density plot (see color bar). Overplotted on these data, we display the prediction from Eq. (12) (dotted red line) as well as different fits to the data (dashed and dotted black lines; see legend).
