This color-coded figure illustrates the applied method to differentiate between Milky Way, LMC, and LA Hi emission. The cataloged objects show up with significant different GSR velocity distributions (color), allowing them to be separated from the neighboring Hi emission within the data cube. Applying the strong criterion to separate between Milky Way and LA emission (Fig.1 right) we might miss coherent structures, i.e. l_MS = 35° and b_MS = 28°. These objects are continuously connected in Hi emission with the Milky Way galaxy.
