Density of normal vectors for stars in the three separate radial bins: 0
8–3
2 (top), 3
2–6
5 (middle), and 6
5–13
3 (bottom). The clockwise disk feature at (
i, Ω) = (130°, 96°) is prominent in the inner radial bin and shows a decrease in density with radius. The degenerate orbital
solutions associated with the CW disk stars are seen as the slight density enhancement near (
i, Ω) ~ (130°, 300°) in the top panel. The middle radial interval shows hints of the CW disk and extended structure around
this location. In the outermost radial bin, a density enhancement is seen at (
i, Ω) = (117°, 192°). The same scaling is used in each plot to show the relative strength of the features. Recall that the
horizontal lines represent
i and are spaced 30° apart and the longitudinal lines represent Ω and are spaced 45° apart, with the line marked E representing
Ω = 0°.
