Caption: Figure 11.

Binned image showing the northwest side of Fomalhaut's belt. The combined image is rotated such that the major axis of the belt lies along a horizontal, with the northwest side pointing right. The data are then binned 2 pixels along the x-axis and 20 pixels along the y-axis, and then convolved with a Gaussian with σ = 2 pixels. The left edge of the frame represents the stellar position, and the distances mark the stellocentric positions.
