Variation in the LMC disc plane fitting as a function of the LMC galactocentric radius R′. Top: inclination i. Bottom: line-of-nodes position angle Ω. The ‘global’ fit derived in Sect. 4.2 is displayed by the horizontal dashed lines. We use a grey shaded area to draw attention to the bar region (R′_bar = 2.3 kpc, Jiménez-Arranz et al. 2023b). In all panels we display the LMC complete (optimal) sample in green (salmon).
