Bar potential, i.e. the difference between the total P17 potential used in this work Φ and its axisymmetric m = 0 part Φ0. The Sun in this model is placed at (x, y) = (8.2 kpc, 0). The bar is rotating clockwise. Its long axis (blue negative contours of Φ − Φ0) is inclined at an angle of 28° from the line connecting the Sun to the centre of the Galaxy.
