Dendrogram of the Leike et al. (2020) 3D dust map. Structures that survive the cloud filtering scheme summarized in Section 3.1.1 are color coded by their mean density (n average in the context of Table 1), with filtered-out structures shown in black (totaling 3.7 × 104 M ). A constant isosurface density of ﹩{n}_{\min }=25\,{\mathrm{cm}}^{-3}﹩ (dashed horizontal line) is used to define cloud boundaries and will preordain the narrow range of mean cloud volume densities (33 cm−3n average ≤ 92 cm−3) seen in our sample.
