Projected stellar density and kinematics of Sgr on the sky on the zx, xy, and zy planes derived from Equations (8) and (9). Stellar density is shown by black contours and colors. The orange arrow indicates the projected bulk velocity of the COM. The blue arrow shows the projection of the internal angular momentum, L. Errors of these quantities are shown by thin lines on both sides of the arrows. The projected tangential velocities upon subtraction of the COM velocity are shown by the black arrows. The direction toward the MW center is indicated by a dashed white line. Velocities measured in the Voronoi cells are all in the same scale. The scale of these, L, and the bulk motion of the galaxy is the same for all panels but different from one quantity to another in order to accommodate all arrows in the same plot.
