Comparison of the UV-IR stars (solid circles) with model-predictions (solid line) as a function of NUV magnitudes for the regions at the southern intermediate Galactic latitudes. The open circles represent the GALEX+SDSS stars. The plots are for the fields towards the GC and the GAC for individual GALEX AIS and MIS tiles, each covering an area of 0.785 deg² (fields 1–4 in Table 1). The error bars shown in the model star counts are due to Poisson noise, while the asymmetric errors in the observed star counts are not shown in the plot.
