Caption: Figure A1.
A side-by-side comparison of the dendrogram extraction for evolved stars from the Quintuplet Cluster, as seen in the ACES 3 mm continuum map. These evolved stars are located in a negative “bowl” artifact in the interferometric image. The left panel image shows the ACES dendrogram leaf mask contours for sources in the “full” catalog presented in this paper, with fmin_val = 3σglobal. The right panel image shows the leaf mask contours for a dendrogram generated with fmin_val = 4σglobal.
