We analyse systems analogous to the Milky Way (MW) in the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamics simulation in order to deduce the likely structure of the MW’s dark matter (DM) halo. We identify MW mass haloes in the simulation whose satellite galaxies hav... Read More about The twisted dark matter halo of the Milky Way.

The Milky Way total mass profile as inferred from Gaia DR2 (2020)
Journal Article

We determine the Milky Way (MW) mass profile inferred from fitting physically motivated models to the Gaia DR2 Galactic rotation curve and other data. Using various hydrodynamical simulations of MW-mass haloes, we show that the presence of baryons in... Read More about The Milky Way total mass profile as inferred from Gaia DR2.
