The very local Hubble flow: Simulating transition from chaos to order
A. D. Chernin, I. D. Karachentsev, M. J. Valtonen +3
The physical nature of the very local (<3 Mpc) Hubble flow is studied on the basis of the recent high precision observations in the Local Volume. A model including both analytical…
Catalog of Nearby Galaxies and the Local Cosmic Web
Igor D. Karachentsev, Valentina E. Karachentseva, Walter K. Huchtmeier +1
We compiled an all-sky catalog of 451 nearby galaxies, each having an individual distance estimate $D \la 10$ Mpc or the radial velocity km s. The catalog con…
The 2MASS-selected Flat Galaxy Catalog
S. N. Mitronova, I. D. Karachentsev, V. E. Karachentseva +2
An all-sky catalog of 18020 disc-like galaxies is presented. The galaxies are selected from the Extended Source Catalog of the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (XSC 2MASS) basing on their…
The Revised Flat Galaxy Catalogue
I. D. Karachentsev, V. E. Karachentseva, Yu. N. Kudrya +2
We present a new improved and completed version of the Flat Galaxy Catalogue (FGC) named the Revised Flat Galaxy Catalogue (RFGC) containing 4236 thin edge-on spiral galaxies and c…
The Hubble Flow Why Does the Cosmological Expansion Preserve its Kinematical Identity from a Few MPC Distance to the Observation Horizon?
Igor D. Karachentsev, Arthur D. Chernin, Pekka Teerikorpi
The problem of the physical nature of the Hubble flow in the Local Volume ( Mpc) stated by Sandage(1986, 1999) is studied. New observational data on galaxy motions and matt…
A list of peculiar velocities of RFGC galaxies
I. D. Karachentsev, V. E. Karachentseva, Yu. N. Kudrya +2
A list of radial velocities, HI line widths and peculiar velocities of 1327 galaxies from the RFGC catalogue has been compiled using actual observations and literature data. The li…
