Notes. Mean column density, maximum N(H2), temperature, T, mass, M, length L, and line mass, Mline for the four filaments. Column densities are the mean over the Av ≥ 3mag region. We assume an uncertainty in temperature of 1 K. Also assuming an error in κ of 50%, we calculate a 50% uncertainty in N (H2). Masses are derived using NP . Assuming a 50 pc uncertainty in distance, the uncertainties in M and Mline are approximately 50% due to propagation of uncertainty. M1,crit,th is the critical line mass assuming only thermal support, whereas M1,crit,TH+NT includes also turbulent support. We assume an uncertainty in σNT of 0.2 km s−1. G208crop (N) refers to the N map cropped to the dimensions of the N map.
