Dark Matter near the Sun: Simulated Star Counts and the Oort LimitAn ensemble of orbits passing through the solar position was generated for a specific mass model of the galaxy. These orbits are randomly sampled to form simulated density distributions of tracer stars perpendicular to the galactic disk. The simulated distributions are analyzed to determine the sampling errors in a self consistent derivation of the total amount of matter near the Sun (the Oort limit).
