Abstract

In 2012, we proposed a new three-dimensional approach to estimate the mass density of the Galactic disk. Its application returned a surprisingly low dark matter density at the solar position. Here we derive the formulation and present refined equations. Our preliminary calculations indicate that these corrections do not alter our previous results noticeably, but further studies should be based on the new equations presented here.
