We use a distribution function analysis to estimate the mass of the Milky Way (MW) out to 100 kpc using a large sample of halo stars. These stars are compiled from the literature, and the vast majority (∼98 per cent) have 6D phase-space information... Read More about The mass of the Milky Way out to 100 kpc using halo stars.
