Dark matter within our Galaxy
Vertical motion of stars (Kaptein, Oort 1920’)
=>total mass density in the solar neigbourhood (Hipparcos sat.)
versus : seen mass (stars+gas)
=>dark halo cannot be extremely flattened (Crézé et al 1998).
=>dark disk is not massive, if any ….

Dark matter within our Galaxy
Halo shape
Local stellar 3D kinematics with Hipparcos satellite
(about ten thousand stars)
=> vertical force perpendicular to the disk
=> (u,v,w) 3D velocity coupling
=> (u,w) tilt with RAVE and SDSS
they give local constrain on the shape of the potential
that is nearly spherical

Dark matter within our Galaxy
Halo stars velocity distribution (radial velocities)
(but no proper motions i.e. tangential motion)
=> flat rotation curve at large R
High velocity star D.F. in the solar neigbourhood
 Galactic escape velocity
 total galaxy mass & flat rotation curve (model dependent)

Again here, 3D kinematics at the faint end of the Gaia survey (V>16-17) would be
a plus…or would even be crucial to identify sub-structures of the phase space

Gaia: long-term objective
Choose potential, write Hamiltonian, write closest integrable
Hamiltonian, find distribution function F(J), adjust
potential…
On shorter term: can we answer the crucial question of the
existence of galactic dark matter by confirming/excluding (or
at least constraining) a modified gravity approach?

MOND within our Galaxy
Stellar Disk within MOND
a newtonian astronomer observes
a spherical dark halo
and a dark disk (Milgrom, 86)
Gaia / DM
Testing Newtonian gravity on galactic scales
Modified gravity is only one version of MOND
Only the relation between the potential and the matter
source is altered, so one can constrain the potential in
the usual way
Crucially depends on our knowledge of the baryonic
distribution
Depends on the exact choice for 
Then, the theory makes a unique and falsifiable prediction
for the galactic potential
=> as an example let us use (x)=x/(1+x) and the
Besançon model based on the synthesis approach
Gaia / DM
The « dark disk » from the Besançon
Galactic model in MOND
With (x)=x/(1+x), at the solar position one has eff = 78 Mpc-2 within z=1.1 kpc
to compare with present constraints dyn = 74+-6 Mpc-2 (TEST 1)
The effective radial density distribution in the disk has a scale-length enhanced by 25%
[deep MOND => 50%]

=> measuring dynamically the disk surface density as a function of R with GAIA (but
problem of extinction, maybe JASMINE too) should allow to constrain  or even exclude
MOND as modified gravity (TEST 2)
=> quick way to exploit GAIA data
Gaia / DM
The vertical tilt of the velocity ellipsoid
Angle = arctg[22UW /(2U - 2W) ]/2 is linked to the disk scale-legnth and dark halo
flattening (Bienaymé 2009)
=>
compute orbits in axisymmetric Besançon model to measure the tilt as a
function of z at solar position

Conclusion
We presented 3 quick tests to test MOND as modified
gravity in the Milky Way with GAIA-like quality data
This should allow to constrain  or even exclude MOND as
modified gravity
Testing gravity crucially depends on our knowledge of the
baryonic distribution (even more than when determining
the DM distribution) => importance of :
- star counts, stellar population synthesis
- gaseous content (including molecular gas)
- inhomogeneities (clusters, gas clouds)
