The mass profile of the Milky Way to the virial radius from the Illustris simulation

The mass profile of the Milky Way to the virial radius from the Illustris simulation

We use particle data from the Illustris simulation, combined with individual kinematic constraints on the mass of the Milky Way (MW) at specific distances from the Galactic Centre, to infer the radial distribution of the MW's dark matter halo mass. Our method allows us to convert any constraint...
