Table 1:

Depths of different regions in the LMC & SMC. These are line of sight depths and need to be corrected for inclination, to estimate the actual depth.
Region	Range of depth (kpc)	Avg. depth (kpc)	Std. deviation (kpc)
LMC eastern bar (RA > 84 $.\!\!^\circ$ 0)	0.69-9.10	4.95	1.49
LMC western bar (RA < 80 $.\!\!^\circ$ 0)	1.26-10.44	4.14	1.35
LMC central bar (80 $.\!\!^\circ$ 0 < RA < 84 $.\!\!^\circ$ 0)	0.69-8.50	3.21	1.03
LMC bar average	0.69-10.44	3.95	1.42
LMC eastern disk (RA > 88 $.\!\!^\circ$ 0, -68 $.\!\!^\circ$ 0 > Dec > -71 $.\!\!^\circ$ 0)	0.65-5.89	2.80	0.92
LMC western disk (RA < 74 $.\!\!^\circ$ 0, -68 $.\!\!^\circ$ 0 > Dec > -71 $.\!\!^\circ$ 0)	0.65-5.58	3.08	0.99
LMC northern disk (Dec > -68 $.\!\!^\circ$ 0)	1.00-7.01	4.17	0.97
LMC southern disk (Dec < -71 $.\!\!^\circ$ 0)	0.65-4.58	2.63	0.79
LMC disk average	0.65-7.01	3.44	1.16
