These mock data are designed to mimic the Milky Way disc - either locally or globally. Key questions include, for the local problem:
(1) What quality of data are required to determine the local dark matter density? (2) Do multiple populations (e.g. split by abundance/age) help? (3) Is 1D modelling sufficient?
And for the global problem:
(1) Can global models simultaneously recover the disc phase space distribution function and the gravitational potential? (2) What are the key degeneracies in the problem and how can these be broken?
If posting new tests, please try to approximately follow the template set out for the “spherical collisionless tests” here.

Can you recover V_LSR=218.4 km/s and (U,V,W)=(11,12,7) km/s from M0III tracers from:
Model | ![]() | Data file |
---|---|---|
Full data | 5,999,999 | 1.dat.gz |
With extinction | 2,372,335 | 2.dat.gz |
With extinction & error | 2,372,335 | 3.dat.gz |
All in the format: alpha (radians), delta (radians), parallax (arc second), mu-alpha (as/yr), mu-delta (as/yr), radial velocity (km/s), x (kpc), y (kpc), z (kpc), vx (km/s), vy (km/s), vz (km/s), mass (10^12 solar masses), V, V-I.
(x,y,z,vx,vy,vz galactocentric, for checking purposes only!)
The observer is assumed at (-8,0) kpc
The code has been updated to compute the astrometric and photometric errors for a fraction of the operation data.
