Analysis conducted to test the result of Fig. 18. Top panel: Same as Fig. 18, but for a subsample of cores selected based on the spatial resolution of the corresponding continuum map (within 1000 – 2000 au). Middle panel: CMF for the three evolutionary groups with core masses obtained using the temperature model from Sadaghiani et al. (2020) (see text for explanation). Bottom panel: Distribution of the F_INTd² quantity for the three evolutionary groups, computed to obtained an analog of the CMF but without the influence of the core temperature assumption. The vertical dashed pink line marks the minimum threshold we imposed for the plotted quantity, calculated by converting our mass completeness limit.
