Local Hole revisited: evidence for bulk motions and self-consistent outflow
T. Shanks, L. M. Hogarth, N. Metcalfe +1
We revisit our mapping of the `Local Hole', a large underdensity in the local galaxy redshift distribution that extends out to redshift, and a potential source of ou…
The galaxy luminosity function and the Local Hole
J. R. Whitbourn, T. Shanks
Whitbourn & Shanks (2014) have reported evidence for a local void underdense by ~15% extending to 150-300h-1Mpc around our position in the Southern Galactic Cap (SGC). Assuming a l…
A neutrino model fit to the CMB power spectrum
T. Shanks, R. W. F. Johnson, J. A. Schewtschenko +1
The standard cosmological model, LCDM, provides an excellent fit to Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data. However, the model has well known problems. For example, the cosmologica…
The Local Hole revealed by galaxy counts and redshifts
J. R. Whitbourn, T. Shanks
The redshifts of ~250000 galaxies are used to study the Local Hole and its associated peculiar velocities. The sample, compiled from 6dFGS and SDSS provides wide sky coverage to a…
Testing the WMAP cosmology via Planck radio catalogues
J. R. Whitbourn, T. Shanks, U. Sawangwit
The prime evidence underpinning the standard LCDM cosmological model is the CMB power spectrum as observed by WMAP and other microwave experiments. But Sawangwit & Shanks (2010) ha…
