Spatial distribution of RAVE stars in the X−Y (top) and X−Z (bottom) planes shown as a log-scale density plot. Blue colour shows a sample of 159 299 stars, green colour is for a sample of 55 831 stars with σ_U and σ_V < 4 km s^-1 and red colour describes the distribution of 31 533 stars associated with the solar neighbourhood (d < 300 pc). The lighter shades of each colour show higher numbers of stars in distributions.
