Beta, Local SNIa data and the Great Attractor
John Lucey, David Radburn-Smith, Mike Hudson
We compare the measured peculiar velocities of 98 local (<150/h Mpc) type Ia supernovae (SNIa) with predictions derived from the PSCz. There is excellent agreement between the two…
Peculiar velocities in the Zone of Avoidance: Determining the Distance to the Norma cluster
P. A. Woudt, A. P. Fairall, R. C. Kraan-Korteweg +4
Deep J, H and Ks photometry of the low Galactic latitude Norma cluster has been obtained with the 1.4-m Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF) and with SOFI on the NTT. Together with spec…
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…
Peculiar Motions Of Clusters In The Perseus-Pisces Region
R. J. Smith, M. J. Hudson, J. R. Lucey +1
We present results of a new study of peculiar motions of 7 clusters in the Perseus-Pisces (PP) region, using the Fundamental Plane as a distance indicator. The sample is calibrated…
