Abstract

When attempting to build a galactic mass model, it is necessary to select a few representative quantities among the many existing observational data. The authors discuss the observational constraints that the model will be required to represent, along with their uncertainties. The authors present the mass model and the results are compared with observational data. As an application, the galactic orbits of some stars of particular interest are presented.
