The Galactic phase space distribution of magnetic monopoles is a key input for both their direct and indirect detection. To date, this astrophysical distribution has been approximated with simplified analytic estimates, leading to a monopole parameter space that contains large uncertainties. To reduce and quantify these uncertainties, I will talk about our current efforts to perform numerical simulations that track magnetic monopole trajectories in the Milky Way’s gravitational and magnetic fields. These simulations thus allow us to assess how gravitational and magnetic field morphologies shape the monopole distribution, providing a more robust prediction for their density and velocities.
