A large sample of blue horizontal-branch stars reveals that the Milky Way halo anisotropy increases from the center, stays radially dominated after removing merger debris, and shows older stars on colder, less radial orbits in the inner regions.

Distribution function-based modelling of discrete kinematic datasets, in application to the Milky Way nuclear star cluster
An improved distribution-function modeling technique applied to thousands of stars yields a 4 million solar-mass central black hole and a total mass of 2.0-2.3 x 10^7 solar masses within 10 pc of the Milky Way nucleus.

Characterizing the velocity anisotropy of the Milky Way's stellar halo
A large sample of blue horizontal-branch stars reveals that the Milky Way halo anisotropy increases from the center, stays radially dominated after removing merger debris, and shows older stars on colder, less radial orbits in the inner regions.
