Sliding into DM: Determining the local dark matter density and speed distribution using only the local circular speed of the Galaxy

Patrick G. Staudt, James S. Bullock, Michael Boylan-Kolchin +3

We use FIRE-2 zoom simulations of Milky Way size disk galaxies to derive easy-to-use relationships between the observed circular speed of the Galaxy at the Solar location, $v_\math…
