Distances, velocities, and angles. Distribution of Galactocentric distances and velocities as a function of the angle between the Galactocentric position and velocity vectors for the full sample (in grey) of 15 681 sources and the one of 393 sources (in black) with the best astrometric solutions (left panels). The magnified version of the same data plot (right panels) includes the error bars for those sources with ratio between the value of the parallax and its uncertainty >2. Our lower cut-off limits, 500 km s⁻¹ and 30 kpc, are indicated by a discontinuous line on each panel.
