LMC de-projection and viewing angles. Left panels: The corner plots show the MCMC distributions of the viable intrinsic axis ratios of the axisymmetric disc (qd0), the triaxial bar (qb0, pb0), and the viewing angles θ and ϕ in rad that result in the observed morphological decompositions of the LMC from the two cases shown in Fig. 12. Middle panels: Zoom-in of the (θ, ϕ) planes colour-coded by the disc intrinsic flattening. The dashed black lines show the median angles from the de-projection, while the red dashed line shows the best-fit inclination angle (θ) from the 2D Jeans dynamical model in the top panel and the 3D Jeans model in the bottom panel. Right panels: Embedded ellipsoids of the de-projected disc and bar with axis ratios as inferred from the de-projection of the LMC morphological decomposition from Fig. 12 and viewed from the three cardinal directions and from viewing angles θ and ϕ.
