Description
We use a new compilation of data for the Rotation Curve of our own Galaxy in order to assess evidence for a Dark component of matter. We construct the rotation curve expected from a large sample of models of the baryonic (star and gas) component of the Milky Way, and infer the missing component with high statistical evidence. This model-independent approach shows evidence for a dark component without any explicit dependence neither on the shape of the DM profile, nor on the properties of stellar population dynamics, typically affecting this sort of analysis.
