Self-consistent Modelling of the Milky Way using Gaia data

David R Cole, James Binney

Published 2017-06-06Version 1

Angle/action based distribution function (DF) models can be optimised based on how well they reproduce observations thus revealing the current matter distribution in the Milky Way. Gaia data combined with data from other surveys, e.g. the RAVE/TGAS sample, and its full selection function will greatly improve their accuracy.

Comments: 4 pages, 1 figure, to appear in proceedings of IAU Symposium No. 330, 2017 'Astrometry and Astrophysics in the Gaia sky' eds. Recio-Blanco, de Laverny & Brown
