The mass of our Milky Way
Wenting Wang, Jiaxin Han, Marius Cautun +2
We perform an extensive review of the numerous studies and methods used to determine the total mass of the Milky Way. We group the various methods into seven broad classes, includi…
Constraining the Milky Way Mass Profile with Phase-Space Distribution of Satellite Galaxies
Zhao-Zhou Li, Yong-Zhong Qian, Jiaxin Han +3
We estimate the Milky Way (MW) halo properties using satellite kinematic data including the latest measurements from Gaia DR2. With a simulation-based 6D phase-space distribution f…
FPFS Shear Estimator: Systematic Tests on the Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey First Year Data
Xiangchong Li, Masamune Oguri, Nobuhiko Katayama +6
We apply the Fourier Power Function Shapelets (FPFS) shear estimator to the first year data of the Hyper Suprime-Cam survey to construct a shape catalog. The FPFS shear estimator h…
A Versatile and Accurate Method for Halo Mass Determination from Phase-Space Distribution of Satellite Galaxies
Zhao-Zhou Li, Yong-Zhong Qian, Jiaxin Han +2
We propose a versatile and accurate method to estimate the halo mass and concentration from the kinematics of satellite galaxies. We construct the 6D phase-space distribution funct…
Satellite galaxies as better tracers of the Milky Way halo mass
Jiaxin Han, Wenting Wang, Zhaozhou Li
The inference of the Milky Way halo mass requires modelling the phase space structure of dynamical tracers, with different tracers following different models and having different l…
