On the possibility of applying the quasi-isothermal St\"ackel's model to our Galaxy
Abstract
An earlier derived quasi-isothermal St\"ackel's model of mass distribution in stellar systems and the corresponding formula for space density are applied to our Galaxy. The model rotation curve is fitted to HI kinematical data. The structural and scale parameters of the model are estimated and the corresponding density contours for our Galaxy are presented.
