Estimating the local dark matter density in a non-axisymmetric wobbling disc

S. Sivertsson, J. I. Read, H. Silverwood +6

The density of dark matter near the Sun is important for experiments hunting for dark matter particles in the laboratory, and for constraining the local shape of the Milky Way's da…

Dark matter local density determination: recent observations and future prospects

Pablo F. de Salas, Axel Widmark

This report summarises progress made in estimating the local density of dark matter (), a quantity that is especially important for dark matter direct detect…

Weighing the Galactic disk in sub-regions of the solar neighbourhood using Gaia DR2

Axel Widmark, Pablo Fernández de Salas, Giacomo Monari

We infer the gravitational potential of the Galactic disk by analysing the phase-space densities of 120 stellar samples in 40 spatially separate sub-regions of the solar neighbourh…

Measuring the Matter Density of the Galactic Disk Using Stellar Streams

Axel Widmark, Khyati Malhan, Pablo F. de Salas +1

We present a novel method for determining the total matter surface density of the Galactic disk by analysing the kinematics of a dynamically cold stellar stream that passes through…

Measuring the local matter density using Gaia DR2

Axel Widmark

We determine the total dynamical matter density in the solar neighbourhood using the second Gaia data release (DR2). The dynamical matter density distribution is inferred in a fram…
