Notes. Negative inclinations are towards the observer. The various vectors are displayed in a 3D view in Fig. 4. The adopted solar motion to convert heliocentric velocities in LSR velocities is (U,V,W)_⊙ = (11.10,12.24,7.25) km s^-1 (Schönrich et al. 2010). The matrix to convert equatorial velocities into galactic velocities is taken from Johnson & Soderblom (1987).
