Cluster Distances: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
John R. Lucey, Russell J. Smith, Michael J. Hudson +2
Galaxy clusters are important targets for peculiar velocity studies as a direct comparison of the various distance indicators can be made. The potential problem of an environmental…
Are Recent Peculiar Velocity Surveys Consistent?
Michael J. Hudson, Russell J. Smith, John R. Lucey +2
We compare the bulk flow of the SMAC sample to the predictions of popular cosmological models and to other recent large-scale peculiar velocity surveys. Both analyses account for a…
Bulk-flow and beta_I from the SMAC project
Russell J. Smith, Michael J. Hudson, John R. Lucey +2
The SMAC project is a Fundamental Plane peculiar velocity survey of 56 clusters of galaxies to a depth of cz ~ 12000 km/s. We present here some results from the analysis of the SMA…
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…
