Selected RHB stars with the Law & Majewski (2010) model (red points) in a V gsr–Λ ☉ map. We obtain 118 stars (green points) from 586 stars (green points + yellow points + black points) in leading arm 1 and 80 stars (green points) from 585 stars (green points + yellow points + black points) in leading arm 2. We obtain 329 stars (blue points) from 973 stars (blue points + yellow points + black points) in trailing arm 1 and 47 stars (blue points) from 502 stars (blue points + yellow points + black points) in trailing arm 2. The yellow points indicate the Galactic RHB stars. We replaced the high-density stars for a generalization which is shown as the black boxes. For clearly dividing the stars into Sgr and Galaxy components, we omit the stars (black points) located at the edge of the model.
