Cartesian (left panels) and cylindrical (right panels) projections of the GC using the APOGEE survey and StarHorse distances. Upper panels: map colour-coded by the logarithmic number of stars and lower panels: colour-coded by StarHorse extinction. Contours are shown for the densest regions as indicated by the colour bar. An ellipse is drawn in the first panel to indicate the approximate location of the Galactic bar.
