We fit new HST/STIS and archival data with axisymmetric orbit models to determine $M$, mass-to-light ratio ($\\Upsilon_V$), and dark matter halo profile. The best-fit model parameters with 1$\\sigma$ uncertainties are $M = (6.0^{+0.7}_{-0.9}) \\times 10^8\\ M_{\\scriptscriptstyle \\odot}$ and $\\Upsilon_V = 6.0 \\pm 0.2\\ M_{\\scriptscriptstyle \\odot}\\ L_{{\\scri"},"claims":{"count":0,"items":[],"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"source":{"id":"1312.4799","kind":"arxiv","version":1},"verdict":{"id":null,"model_set":{},"created_at":null,"strongest_claim":"","one_line_summary":"","pipeline_version":null,"weakest_assumption":"","pith_extraction_headline":""},"references":{"count":0,"sample":[],"resolved_work":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57","internal_anchors":0},"formal_canon":{"evidence_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"author_claims":{"count":0,"strong_count":0,"snapshot_sha256":"258153158e38e3291e3d48162225fcdb2d5a3ed65a07baac614ab91432fd4f57"},"builder_version":"pith-number-builder-2026-05-17-v1"}
