Notes. The samples are subdivided between angular sizes Ω larger or smaller than the GASS beam ΩGASS. The quantities are computed for distances that are obtained from 1000 realisations of vertical distributions with scale heights of hz = 0.5 kpc and hz = 1.6 kpc, from which the distances to the candidates are calculated for their latitudes b (Sect. 6.2). Note that there is only one northern MIVC+ candidate with Ω > ΩGASS.
