Triaxiality of the NSC stellar populations. The triaxiality parameter of the different cluster populations (smoothed for clarity with a 1 pc window) is shown as a function of distance from the MBH. As can be seen, the different populations show distinctly different behavior and significant triaxiality. In particular, some of the clusters show highly anisotropic properties; somewhat resembling thick, disk-like structures, in some cases even Gyr after their infall.
