Description

A recent anlysis of GAIA's data suggest claims to have seen the beginning of the decline of the Milky Way's rotation curve.
This would have interesting implications for the Milky Way mass determination, if true.
I propose a critical assessment of the the analysis, followed by an independent analysis of of the MW mass distribution in light of GAIA's new data.
