Deep Potential: Recovering the Gravitational Potential from a Snapshot of Phase Space

One of the major goals of the field of Milky Way dynamics is to recover the gravitational potential field. Mapping the potential would allow us to determine the spatial distribution of matter—both baryonic and dark—throughout the galaxy. We present a novel method for determining the gravitational fi...
