Caption: Figure 5.
Spatial distribution of stars over the full catalog. Each panel shows a projection of the stellar density in heliocentric Galactic Cartesian coordinates. The Galactic center is marked with a “+” symbol and the Sun with a “⊙” symbol in the XY and XZ projections. We detect stars out to distances of d = 15 kpc and beyond, but with an underdensity of stars near the midplane (z = 0 pc) due to high levels of dust extinction.
