Redshift-Distance Survey of Early-type Galaxies. I. Sample Selection, Properties and Completeness
L. N. da Costa, M. Bernardi, M. V. Alonso +5
This is the first in a series of papers describing the recently completed all-sky redshift-distance survey of nearby early-type galaxies (ENEAR) carried out for peculiar velocity a…
Redshift-Distance Survey of Early-Type Galaxies. IV. Dipoles of the Velocity Field
L. N. da Costa, M. Bernardi, M. V. Alonso +5
We use the recently completed redshift-distance survey of nearby early-type galaxies (ENEAR) to measure the dipole component of the peculiar velocity field to a depth of cz ~ 6000…
Fundamental Plane Distances to Early-type Field Galaxies in the South Equatorial Strip. I. The Spectroscopic Data
K. R. Müller, G. Wegner, W. Freudling
Radial velocities and central velocity dispersions are derived for 238 E/S0 galaxies from medium-resolution spectroscopy. New spectroscopic data have been obtained as part of a stu…
EFAR peculiar velocities and bulk motions
Matthew Colless, R. P. Saglia, David Burstein +3
The EFAR project has measured peculiar motions in two distant volumes of the universe using Fundamental Plane (FP) distances for 85 clusters with cz=6000-15000 km/s. The scatter in…
The Nearby Early-type Galaxies Survey (ENEAR): Project description and Some Preliminary Results
G. Wegner, L. N. da Costa, M. V. Alonso +5
The ENEAR project is an all-sky survey of nearby early-type galaxies. About 2200 new spectra and R-band images of over 1500 galaxies together with published data were assembled int…
Correlation Analysis of SFI Peculiar Velocities
S. Borgani, L. N. da Costa, I. Zehavi +5
We present results of a statistical analysis of the SFI catalog of peculiar velocities, a recently completed survey of spiral field galaxies with I-band Tully-Fisher distances (Hay…
