The analysis of stellar kinematics and the Galactic potential is linked to the study of the spatial distribution of stars in the Galaxy since they are related through the Boltzmann and Poisson equations. Measuring all the visible density and mass distribution from general star counts and the gas cloud density gives only a small fraction of the total amount of the dynamical mass that is deduced from the kinematics of the galactic constituents. As in many spiral galaxies, most of the Galactic mass is unseen and unknown.
