The Local Velocity Field
Karen L. Masters
We only see a small fraction of the matter in the universe, but the rest gives itself away by the impact of its gravity. The distortions from pure Hubble flow (or peculiar velociti…
2MTF I. The Tully-Fisher Relation in the 2MASS J, H and K Bands
Karen L. Masters, Christopher M. Springob, John P. Huchra
The 2 Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) Tully-Fisher Survey (2MTF) aims to measure Tully-Fisher (TF) distances to all bright inclined spirals in the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS). Essen…
Geometrical tests of cosmological models. II. Calibration of rotational widths and disc scaling relations
A. Saintonge, K. L. Masters, C. Marinoni +3
This series of papers is dedicated to a new technique to select galaxies that can act as standard rods and standard candles in order to perform geometrical tests on large samples o…
Geometrical tests of cosmological models. I. Probing dark energy using the kinematics of high-redshift galaxies
C. Marinoni, A. Saintonge, R. Giovanelli +6
We suggest to use the observationally measured and theoretically justified correlation between size and rotational velocity of galactic discs as a viable method to select a set of…
Mapping Mass in the Local Universe
Karen L. Masters
We only see a small fraction of the matter in the universe, but the rest gives itself away by the impact of its gravity. Peculiar velocities have the potential to be a powerful too…
The ALFA Zone of Avoidance Survey: Results from the Precursor Observations
C. M. Springob, P. A. Henning, B. Catinella +11
The Arecibo L-band Feed Array Zone of Avoidance Survey (ALFA ZOA) will map 1350-1800 square degrees at low Galactic latitude, providing HI spectra for galaxies in regions of the sk…
