Dark Matter Near the Sun: Simulated Star Counts and the Oort Limit
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2016
Abstract
An ensemble of orbits passing through the solar position have been generated for a specific mass model of the galaxy. These orbits are randomly sampled to form simulated density distributions of tracer stars perpendicular to the galactic disk. The simulated distributions are analyzed in order to determine the sampling errors in a self-consistent derivation of the total amount of matter near the sun (the Oort limit).
