This split is detected with high significance toward the areas (-3.5<l<1,b<-5) and (l,b)=(0,+5.2), i.e., along the bulge minor axis and at least 5 deg off the plane. The fainter (hereafter "main") component is the one that more closely follows the distance-longitude relation of the bulge RC. The main component is ~0.5mag fainter than the secondary component and with an overall approximately equal population. For sightlines further from the plane, the difference in brightness increases, and more stars are found in the secondary component than in the main component. The two components have very nearly equal (V-I) color.2010ApJ...721L..28Nhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/721/L28CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toJ/AcA/52/217 : OGLE II.
