Image Details
Caption: Figure 3.
Radial asymmetrical structures in the R, Z plane of LAMOST-Gaia stars in different age populations. Bins in each panel are color-coded as the median radial velocity VR, with the panels showing different age bins as labeled. The red/blue difference between above-the-plane and below-the-plane represents the asymmetry in radial velocity. The panels showing ages between 2 and 8 Gyr have clear North/South asymmetries in VR, and these are still apparent at ages of 10–14 Gyr. Each pixel plotted in this figure has at least five stars and the total number is shown in each panel.
