Residual PM, after subtraction of a model PM field for the LMC (top) and the SMC (bottom). For both objects, the majority of the variation disappears, and the banding in PM is more clearly visible. Black density contours are spaced in the same way as in Fig. 16. For the LMC, the imprint of orbits on the bar can be seen as the bluer area on the lower side of the bar (as it appears in the plot) and the redder areaon the upper side of the bar. The model that is subtracted is fit from sources within angular radii ρ_max = 3° of the centre for the LMC, and ρ_max = 2° of the centre for the SMC.
