Top panel: latitude PMs, μ_b in the VVV catalog presented here (upper distribution) and in the catalog by Shahzamanian et al. (2022; bottom distribution). We added (subtracted) 10 mas yr⁻¹ to the VVV (Shahzamanian) distribution in order to avoid overlap. The white lines show the IQR for each distribution. Bottom panel: same as above, but only for the stars in common between the two catalogs, allowing us to use the K₀ magnitude in the x-axis. Black lines show the IQR for each distribution.
