Tilt angles as a function of Galactic height for different positions across the Galaxy. We show the trends with z for R = [5, 7, 9, 11] kpc for different distance estimates for the stars. The blue squares and orange diamonds use distances based on inverting the parallaxes after correcting the parallaxes for an offset of −29 μas and −54 μas, respectively. The green crosses and red starred symbols use Bayesian distances from McMillan (2018) and Schönrich et al. (2019), respectively. The solid black line shows the trend that would correspond to spherical alignment.
