The posterior means of the GCs’ specific energies as a function of Galactocentric position. The blue circles are the mean energy estimates for each GC; solid points are complete data and hollow points are incomplete data. The solid green diamonds are the measured energies for complete data. The arrows connect GC measured energies to GC posterior mean energies, and the purple curves represent the 50% and 95% credible regions for the potential.
