2MTF - VII. 2MASS Tully-Fisher survey final data release: distances for 2,062 nearby spiral galaxies

Tao Hong, Lister Staveley-Smith, Karen L. Masters +8

We present the final distance measurements for the 2MASS Tully-Fisher (2MTF) survey. The final 2MTF catalogue contains 2,062 nearby spiral galaxies in the CMB frame velocity range…

Photometric redshifts for the Kilo-Degree Survey. Machine-learning analysis with artificial neural networks

M. Bilicki, H. Hoekstra, M. J. I. Brown +24

We present a machine-learning photometric redshift analysis of the Kilo-Degree Survey Data Release 3, using two neural-network based techniques: ANNz2 and MLPQNA. Despite limited c…

Discovery of a supercluster in the ZOA in Vela

Renée C. Kraan-Korteweg, Michelle E. Cluver, Maciej Bilicki +5

We report the discovery of a potentially major supercluster that extends across the Galactic Plane in the constellation of Vela, at a mean recessional velocity of ~18,000 km/s. Rec…

WISE x SuperCOSMOS photometric redshift catalog: 20 million galaxies over 3pi steradians

M. Bilicki, J. A. Peacock, T. H. Jarrett +14

We cross-match the two currently largest all-sky photometric catalogs, mid-infrared WISE and SuperCOSMOS scans of UKST/POSS-II photographic plates, to obtain a new galaxy sample th…

Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA): Exploring the WISE Cosmic Web in G12

T. H. Jarrett, M. E. Cluver, C. Magoulas +17

We present an analysis of the mid-infrared WISE sources seen within the equatorial GAMA G12 field, located in the North Galactic Cap. Our motivation is to study and characterize th…

2MTF V. Cosmography, Beta, and the residual bulk flow

Christopher M. Springob, Tao Hong, Lister Staveley-Smith +7

Using the Tully-Fisher relation, we derive peculiar velocities for the 2MASS Tully-Fisher Survey and describe the velocity field of the nearby Universe. We use adaptive kernel smoo…
