SFHs of NGC 4981 along the cuts illustrated in the sketch in Fig. 8. and in the Fig. C.1. Each panel shows one of the four cuts. The x-axis shows the distance to the bar major axis along the cut and the y-axis shows the age of the population. The fraction of stellar mass that is at a certain position and was formed at a certain time is colour-coded. The mass was normalised within each spatial bin (vertically in this diagram). The mass fractions were further divided by the size of the bin on the y-axis to correct for non-equally spaced bins on the linear age axis. White vertical lines mark the edges of the bar. Red lines are plotted on top to indicate the V-shape discussed in the text.
