The Milky Way's circular velocity curve between 4 and 14 kpc from APOGEE data
Jo Bovy, Carlos Allende Prieto, Timothy C. Beers +30
We measure the Milky Way's rotation curve over the Galactocentric range 4 kpc <~ R <~ 14 kpc from the first year of data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experi…
On the local dark matter density
Jo Bovy, Scott Tremaine
An analysis of the kinematics of 412 stars at 1-4 kpc from the Galactic mid-plane by Moni Bidin et al. (2012) has claimed to derive a local density of dark matter that is an order…
Galactic masers and the Milky Way circular velocity
Jo Bovy, David W. Hogg, Hans-Walter Rix
Masers found in massive star-forming regions can be located precisely in six-dimensional phase space and therefore serve as a tool for studying Milky Way dynamics. The non-random o…
The velocity distribution of nearby stars from Hipparcos data I. The significance of the moving groups
Jo Bovy, David W. Hogg, Sam T. Roweis
We present a three-dimensional reconstruction of the velocity distribution of nearby stars (<~ 100 pc) using a maximum likelihood density estimation technique applied to the two-di…
