Limits on the local density of dark matter
Abstract
We study the systematic problems in determining the local dark matter density dm(R) from kinematics of stars in the Solar Neighbourhood, using a simulated Milky Way-like galaxy. We introduce a new unbiased method for recovering dm(R) based on the moments of the Jeans equations, combined with a Monte Carlo Markov Chain technique and apply it to real data. ov
