Density of late-type GC stars with stellar parameter measurements, as a function of Galactic longitude and Galactic latitude, centred on Sgr A★. We have the largest density in the centre of our field, where the stellar density is also the highest. The higher density in the inner 5 pc east of Sgr A★ compared to inner 5 pc west of Sgr A★ is likely caused by the lower extinction of the east region (see also Fig. 12, bottom panel), and is already visible in the photometric catalogue. We note that the vertical axis is stretched relative to the horizontal axis of the plot to improve visibility.
