Fig. 7.
Vertical density distribution of HI gas under its own self-gravity, then also including the gravitational force of the dark matter halo, and then including the effect of both halo and stars, at R = 18 kpc (panel a) and at R = 22 kpc (panel b). The halo very strongly constrains the HI distribution in the outer Galaxy, and the effect is progressively higher at larger radii.
