Milky Way Rotation Curve Measured with Gaia DR3 Cepheids

This paper presents a refined measurement of the Milky Way's rotation curve using data from Gaia DR3, specifically focusing on classical Cepheids. The study's significance lies in its use of precise data to map the galactic rotation, revealing details like a dip-and-bump feature and providing constraints on the Milky Way's mass distribution, including dark matter. The accurate determination of the circular velocity at the solar position and the estimation of local dark matter density are crucial for understanding the structure and dynamics of our galaxy.
