Abstract

Abstract We present an updated estimate of the surface density and surface brightness in B, V, I of the local Galactic disc, based on a model for the “Solar cylinder” calibrated to reproduce Hipparcos and Tycho star counts. We discuss the mass-to-light ratio of the local stellar disc and infer the global luminosity of the MilkyWay, which indicates it is underluminous with respect to the Tully–Fisher relation.
