Large-Scale Flows As A Cosmological Probe
Michael A. Strauss, Michael Blanton
We review the use of peculiar velocities of galaxies as a probe of cosmological models. We put particular emphasis on comparison of the peculiar velocity and density fields, focuss…
The Supergalactic Plane revisited with the Optical Redshift Survey
O. Lahav, B. X. Santiago, A. M. Webster +4
We re-examine the existence and extent of the planar structure in the local galaxy density field, the so-called Supergalactic Plane (SGP). This structure is studied here in three d…
SHELLFLOW: The First Homogeneous All-Sky TF Survey at 6000 km/s
S. Courteau, J. Willick, M. Strauss +2
We present a new optical Tully-Fisher (TF) investigation for a complete, full-sky sample of 297 Sb-Sc spirals with redshifts between 4500 and 7000 km/s. The survey was specifically…
Constraining the Dark Matter Distribution With Large-Scale Structure Observations
Michael A. Strauss, Michael Blanton
We discuss the use of galaxies to trace the large-scale structure of the universe and thereby to make cosmological inferences. We put special emphasis on our lack of knowledge abou…
Large-Scale Structure in the Distribution of Galaxies as a Probe of Cosmological Models
Michael A. Strauss
The last 20 years have seen an explosion in our understanding of the large-scale distribution and motions of galaxies in the nearby universe. The field has moved from a largely qua…
