( a) Stellar surface density (log #stars arcmin ⁻²) map for all RMC sources smoothed with a 3′ radius kernel. ( b) Same as ( a) but using a 2′ radius kernel. ( c) Same as ( a) but for the unobscured population. ( d) Same as ( b) but for the unobscured population. ( e) Same as ( a) but for the obscured population. ( f) Same as ( b) but for the obscured population. The density scaling is the same between maps of the unobscured population and obscured population for a fair comparison.
