Easily Interpretable Bulk Flows: Continuing Tension with the Standard Cosmological Model
Sarah Peery, Richard Watkins, Hume A. Feldman
We present an improved Minimal Variance (MV) method for using a radial peculiar velocity sample to estimate the average of the three-dimensional velocity field over a spherical vol…
