There is still a controversy on the mass of the Galaxy in the deep halo, some advocate a conservative view that the rotation velocity ultimately decays in accordance with the Keplerian law at the distance of 50 kpc, while others have come to consider that the rotation curve of the Milky Way, essentially stays flat or is still increasing at the distance of the Magellanic Clouds and the Magellanic Stream.
