Extended Data Fig. 6: Predicted density distribution of a smooth model.
From: All-sky dynamical response of the Galactic halo to the Large Magellanic Cloud
The model18 has a smooth (oblate) stellar halo. a, The unfiltered smooth model. b, The smooth model with the same selection criteria as used in the data, including various coordinate and proper motion cuts. Both maps have been smoothed by a Gaussian with FWHM = 30°. Unlike the data, this map shows no obvious structure.
