    regions in R.A.: 30◦ < R.A. < 60◦ (top left), 0◦ < R.A. < 30◦ (top right), 340◦ < R.A. < 0◦ (bottom left), and 310◦ < R.A. < 340◦ (bottom right). The bottom left panel contains the Pisces overdensity at RGC ∼ 80 kpc (log(RGC) ∼ 1.9). The symbols show the observed median number density and the rms scatter around the median value for pixels shown in Figure 11 (top). The dashed line shows the number density predicted from the smooth model (log(ρRR model ), Equation (16)), and the dotted lines show the ±0.3 dex envelope (a factor of 2) around the predicted values which corresponds to the sample Poisson noise determined from model-based number density maps. The solid line shows the prediction from Watkins et al. (2009). The ρRR in Equation (16) was increased by 33% to 5.6 kpc−3 to match Figure 14.
