Density maps for all the sources down to Ks = 16.0 found in the VVV bulge (top panel) and disk (middle and bottom panel) regions. The VVV disk area is split in two panels for clarity. Higher density regions toward the Galactic center and globular clusters are observable in darker colors. Well defined regions of higher extinction in the Galactic plane can be identified in lighter colors. Star clusters appear as darker spots against their lighter-colored surroundings.
