Results of the Fourier transform of stellar density maps of the LMC for the BL and the combined samples (upper and bottom panels, respectively). Left and middle panels: amplitude and phases of the first- and second-order asymmetries (dashed black and solid green lines, respectively). The axisymmetric density is shown as a dotted blue line. Right panel: k = 1 perturbation over the bisymmetry strength ratio. The galactocentric radius is given here in the photometric frame, with Ω_phot = 10° as the reference photometric position angle.
