Default model of the RW spine (thick colored line) as projected on the sky. The colors indicate the distance of the RW from the Sun at the corresponding point along the RW spine. The background image shows the extinction integrated out to 1.25 kpc from Edenhofer et al. (2024). The 20 alternative RW models are shown as dotted white lines. The dashed vertical white lines mark the span of the longitude range of interest.
