Face-on view of the spatial distribution of nine GIBS and ten GES fields with valid d_los ; i.e., the kinematic distance of the DIB carrier calculated by the field-median radial velocity and model A5 in Reid et al. (2019), overplotted with the Milky Way sketch created by Robert Hurt and Robert Benjamin (Churchwell et al. 2009). The Galactic center is located at (−8, 0). Red and blue dots indicate the GIBS and GES fields, respectively.
