"universal" \(\sim 0.1\)pc width of the filaments
\(>70\)% prestellar cores found in filaments
Aquila CMF obs. by Herschel
From \(\sim100\)pc GMCs to \(<0.1\)pc prestellar cores
A giant leap in the spatical scale

From \(>100\)pc GMCs to \(<0.1\)pc prestellar cores
\(>10^3\) difference in spatial scales
Obs. with high spatial resolution & spatially extended emission – "spatial dynamic range"

Advantage of the AKARI All-sky Survey
Filament typical width: \(\sim 0.1\) pc \(\Leftrightarrow\) \(2.5'\) @ 140pc
Filament typical width: \(\sim 0.1\) pc \(\Leftrightarrow\) \(2.5'\) @ 140pc
These methods extract linearly elongated structure by design -- omit detailed structure of ISM.
Filament typical width: \(\sim 0.1\) pc \(\Leftrightarrow\) \(2.5'\) @ 140pc
YSOs: all sources (30/30)
TTSs: significant concentration (p-value=0.004)
\(\leftrightarrow\) 0.1[km/s] random motion over \(1-5\times10^6\) yrs
Filament typical width: \(\sim 0.1\) pc \(\Leftrightarrow\) \(1.7'\) @ 200pc
