Stellar mass profile across latitude in each field for fixed longitudes. Filled symbols with dotted lines represent b< 0, empty symbols with solid lines to b> 0 fields. The lower part of the plot has an expanded y-axis, for a better display of the high negative latitude fields. The number counts at b = 0° are rather noisy, especially at negative longitudes, owing to the higher extinction, hence higher incompleteness in those fields. The purple line includes a mild smoothing from which the central point was excluded, to avoid flattening the peak.
