Total counts map in the 0.2–100 GeV band and residual counts map after subtracting the background model described in Sect. 3.1 (top and bottom panels, respectively). Both maps have 0.1° × 0.1° pixels and were smoothed with a Gaussian kernel with σ = 0.2°. Colours are displayed on a square-root scale. White lines are contours of the atomic hydrogen distribution in the LMC at a relative value of 1/8 of the peak in the distribution (see Sect. 3.3 for the origin of the data).
