Extended Data Fig. 7: RR Lyrae as a probe of the stellar halo.

From: All-sky dynamical response of the Galactic halo to the Large Magellanic Cloud

Extended Data Fig. 7

a, Binned all-sky map of RR Lyrae stars identified in Pan-STARRS data51. The data are restricted to declinations greater than −30°. The wake is clearly visible in the lower left quadrant (compare with Extended Data Fig. 4). b, Measured densities in the wake and collective response regions for RR Lyrae (blue) compared with the K giants (black; compare with Fig. 2). Both the wake and collective response are clearly detected in the RR Lyrae.
