Caption: Figure 13.

Deprojection of the belt (Figure  8) by 66 fdg5 after the apparent semi-major axis is rotated to horizontal (clockwise by 66 fdg0). The right panel has been normalized by multiplying the image by radius squared centered on the stellar location. The angle markings on the right panel are belt centric, so that 0° and 180° mark the belt's apparent minor axis.
