A Comprehensive Investigation of Environmental Influences on Galaxies in Group Environments

W. Van Kempen, M. E. Cluver, T. H. Jarrett +6

Environment has long been known to impact the evolution of galaxies, but disentangling its effects from mass evolution requires careful analysis of statistically significant sample…

Joint analysis of 6dFGS and SDSS peculiar velocities for the growth rate of cosmic structure and tests of gravity

Khaled Said, Matthew Colless, Christina Magoulas +2

Measurement of peculiar velocities by combining redshifts and distance indicators is a powerful way to measure the growth rate of cosmic structure and test theories of gravity at l…

The Taipan Galaxy Survey: Scientific Goals and Observing Strategy

Elisabete da Cunha, Andrew M. Hopkins, Matthew Colless +37

Taipan is a multi-object spectroscopic galaxy survey starting in 2017 that will cover 2pi steradians over the southern sky, and obtain optical spectra for about two million galaxie…

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…

The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Bulk Flows on Mpc scales

Morag I. Scrimgeour, Tamara M. Davis, Chris Blake +12

We measure the bulk flow of the local Universe using the 6dF Galaxy Survey peculiar velocity sample (6dFGSv), the largest and most homogeneous peculiar velocity sample to date. 6dF…

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…

Modified Gravity and Large Scale Flows

Jeremy Mould, Matthew Colless, Pirin Erdogdu +5

Reconstruction of the local velocity field from the overdensity field and a gravitational acceleration that falls off from a point mass as r^-2 yields velocities in broad agreement…

The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Peculiar Velocity Field and Cosmography

Christopher M. Springob, Christina Magoulas, Matthew Colless +6

We derive peculiar velocities for the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) and describe the velocity field of the nearby () southern hemisphere. The survey comprises 8885 galaxies fo…

The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Fundamental Plane Data

Lachlan A. Campbell, John R. Lucey, Matthew Colless +13

We report the 6dFGS Fundamental Plane (6dFGSv) catalogue that is used to estimate distances and peculiar velocities for nearly 9,000 early-type galaxies in the local (z0.055) un…

Are peculiar velocity surveys competitive as a cosmological probe?

Jun Koda, Chris Blake, Tamara Davis +6

Peculiar velocity surveys, which measure galaxy peculiar velocities directly from standard candles in addition to redshifts, can provide strong constraints on the linear growth rat…

The 6dF Galaxy Survey: The Near-Infrared Fundamental Plane of Early-Type Galaxies

Christina Magoulas, Christopher M. Springob, Matthew Colless +7

We determine the near-infrared Fundamental Plane (FP) for early-type galaxies in the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS). We fit the distribution of central velocity dispersion, n…

The 6dF Galaxy Survey: Stellar Population Trends Across and Through the Fundamental Plane

Christopher M. Springob, Christina Magoulas, Rob Proctor +6

We present results from an analysis of stellar population parameters for 7132 galaxies in the 6dFGS Fundamental Plane (FP) sample. We bin the galaxies along the axes, , ,…

Maximum likelihood method for fitting the Fundamental Plane of the 6dF Galaxy Survey

Christina Magoulas, Matthew Colless, D. Heath Jones +2

We have used over 10,000 early-type galaxies from the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) to construct the Fundamental Plane across the optical and near-infrared passbands. We demonstrate th…
