The combined Poisson-Boltzman equation for the gravitational potential is solved numerically for a detailed Galaxy model. The main result - obtained by comparing the calculated densities with observations of F dwarfs and K giants - is that about half of the mass density in the vicinity of the Sun has not yet been observed.
