Distribution of the galaxies in the southern Galactic disc using the VVV and VVVX surveys superimposed with the stellar density map with limiting magnitude of K_s = 16 mag by Alonso-García et al. (in prep.). The colour bar shows, on linear scale, the variation of the stellar density. The four panels correspond to Galactic longitudes between 350° to 320°, 320° to 290°, 290° to 260°, and 260° to 230°. The galaxies from the VVV NIRGC I and VVV NIRGC III catalogues are both represented by black dots.
