NGC 2264 continuum maps on different intensity scales. The cyan contours mark 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 5.0, and 10 mJy arcsec−2. (Top panels) High-intensity compact clumps are distributed along a filamentary structure in 2264C. The bright clumps in 2264D are more scattered. (Bottom panels) A number of streamer-like structures are found in 2264C extending from the massive filament with the dense clumps. In 2264D, a more complex filamentary network is revealed connecting the bright clumps, with fainter streamers extending to the low-intensity outskirts.
