Schematic diagrams of our models of the Galaxy in Newtonian gravity. The baryonic components, the bulge and the disk, are shown in black and the dark matter halo in gray. Different shapes of the dark matter halo are shown: (a) spherical (edge-on view of the disk), (b) prolate with the major axis on the plane of disk (face-on view of the disk), (c) oblate with the minor axis perpendicular to the disk (edge-on view of the disk), and (d) prolate with the major axis perpendicular to the disk (edge-on view of the disk). Only in case (b) are the axes of symmetry of the disk and the halo not aligned.
