The outer rotation curve of the Milky Way
James Binney, Walter Dehnen
A straightforward determination of the circular-speed curve vc(R) of the Milky Way suggests that near the Sun, vc starts to rise approximately linearly with R. If this result were…
Mass models of the Milky Way
Walter Dehnen, James Binney
A parameterized model of the mass distribution within the Milky Way is fitted to the available observational constraints. The most important single parameter is the ratio of the sc…
The photometric structure of the inner Galaxy
James Binney, Ortwin Gerhard, David Spergel
The light distribution in the inner few kiloparsecs of the Milky Way is recovered non-parametrically from a dust-corrected near-infrared COBE/DIRBE surface brightness map of the in…
Dynamical Models for the Milky Way
Walter Dehnen, James Binney
The only way to map the Galaxy's gravitational potential and the distribution of matter that produces it is by modelling the dynamics of stars and gas. Observations of…
