Notes. Masses (M) are given in units of 1010 M scale lengths (a) and scale heights (h) are given in kiloparsecs. The six-dimensional phase-space coordinates (x, y, z, vx, vy, vz) are given in the Galactocentric frame, with distances in kiloparsecs and velocities in km s−1. Orbital angles are given in degrees. For Model 1, the masses of individual stellar and DM particles are 1.4 × 105 M and 5.6 × 105 M, respectively. For Models 2 and 3, baryonic (star or gas) and DM particles have masses of 0.6 × 105 M and 2.3 × 105 M, respectively.
