The fit parameters are disk velocity, vtravel; Galactocentric longitude apex apex; Galactocentric latitude apex bapex; the mean velocity of halo stars in spherical coordinates 〈vr〉, 〈vϕ〉 and 〈vθ〉; the three hyperparameters σh,los, σh, and σh,b. A full description of the model may be found in the Supplementary Information.
