Best fit (solid line) for the data of ρ(R,z) extracted from the star counts of F8-G5V stars in the SDSS. The dashed line stands for the best fit of the disc within R< 15 kpc without any flare, and extrapolated for R ≥ 15 kpc. Error bars stand only for Poissonian errors in the star counts and do not include other possible factors such as errors in the extinction. Note that in the lowest | z | bins there are no points at high R because of our constraint of | b | > 8° (see Fig. 2).
