Two-dimensional atom density distributions in the synthetic magnetic field. From left to right,Ω/ω= 0.24, 0.50, 0.70, 0.90, 0.99, 1.20, 1.30, 1.50, 1.80, and from top to bottom,θ= 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°. The trap aspect ratio isγ_z= 30, and the dipole strength isε_dd= 0.8. The field of view in the panels is 8a₀× 8a₀.
