Abstract [en]

We derive the local dark matter density by applying the integrated Jeans equation method from Silverwood et al. to SDSS-SEGUE G-dwarf data processed and presented by Budenbender et al. We use the MULTINEST Bayesian nested sampling software to fit a model for the baryon distribution, dark matter, and tracer stars, including a model for the 'tilt term' that couples the vertical and radial motions, to the data. The alpha-young population from Budenbender et al. yields the most reliable result of rho(dm) = 0.46(-0.08)(+ 0.07) GeV cm(-3) = 0.012(-0.002)(+ 0.002) M-circle dot pc(-3). Our analyses yield inconsistent results for the alpha-young and alpha-old data, pointing to problems in the tilt term and its modelling, the data itself, the assumption of a flat rotation curve, or the effects of disequilibria.
