“…The density determined from the high-velocity stars is based on the assumption that the median tangential velocity of spheroid stars is 250 km/sec. This value of the median tangential velocity may be somewhat high (Richstone and Graham 1981). If, instead, we adopt a median tangential velocity of 200 km/sec, then the corresponding mass density increases to 2.7 x 10"^ M @ /pc 3 (Schmidt 1975).…”
