The stellar mass distribution of the Milky Way's bar: an analytic model
  We present an analytic model of the stellar mass distribution of the Milky
Way bar. The model is obtained by fitting a multi-component parametric density
distribution to a made-to-measure N-body model of Portail et al., constructed
to match a variety of density and kinematics observational data. The analytic
model reproduces in detail the 3D density distribution of the N-body bar
including the X-shape. The model and the gravitational potential it generates
are available as part of the software package AGAMA for galactic dynamics, and
can be readily used for orbit integrations, hydrodynamical simulations or other
applications.
