The sky maps, in equatorial coordinates, of the flux expected from galaxies at luminosity distances ranging from 0.01–1 Mpc (top), 1–10 Mpc (middle), and 10–350 Mpc (bottom), in proportion to their stellar mass (left) and SFR (right). The flux maps are smoothed on a 10° angular scale. The color scale is normalized so that the peak fluxes in panels (a) and (b) reach 100 arbitrary units. The largest flux excesses are flagged using the most prominent galaxy (top, middle) or (super-)cluster (bottom) in that direction, as labeled in gray text. The lowest flux point in the outer-distance layer, associated to the Local Void, is marked as a white circle. The supergalactic plane is shown as a red solid line. The ZoA boundaries are marked with gray dashed (top, middle) and solid (bottom) lines, highlighting the application of ZoA correction and galaxy cloning at distances larger than 11 Mpc.
