Symmetrized density of the X-shaped model at |z| = 1012.5 pc (equivalent to |b| = 7.3° at 8 kpc distance) from Wegg & Gerhard (2013, Fig. 12), derived from red clumps, assuming a Galactocentric distance of 8 kpc and a bar angle of 27°. The dashed lines stand for ℓ = +2.0 ° , − 1.2 ° , − 5.2 ° , − 6.2°, which cover the range of our data (see Table 1). We note how these lines cross two maxima.
