Revisiting mass estimates of the Milky Way
arxiv(2023)
摘要
We use the rotation curve from Gaia data release (DR) 3 to estimate the mass of the Milky Way. We consider an Einasto density profile to model the dark matter component. We extrapolate and obtain a dynamical mass $M=2.75^{+3.11}_{-0.48}\times 10^{11} M_\odot$ at $112$ kpc. This lower-mass Milky Way is consistent with the significant declining rotation curve, and can provide new insights into our Galaxy and halo inhabitants.
