Comparison between the projected radius profiles computed for different ranges of magnitudes along the GP. Only the data closer than 50″ (2 pc) to the GP are taken into account. The black line shows the density profile for RC stars (12.5 ≤ K_s, extc ≤ 14) and the blue line indicates the density profile for bright stars (9.0 ≤ K_s, extc ≤ 12). In order to facilitate the comparison between both profiles, the data for the bright stars are scaled using the median ratio of both number counts at distances larger than 10 pc. We mask the inner 0.6 pc around Sgr A*.
