First Results from the Shellflow Survey
S. Courteau, J. A. Willick, M. A. Strauss +2
We present preliminary results from the Shellflow program, an all-sky Tully-Fisher (TF) survey of 297 Sb-Sc with redshifts between 4000 and 7500 km/s. The program was designed to e…
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…
Interstellar Dust Emission as a CMBR Foreground
D. P. Finkbeiner, D. J. Schlegel
This chapter discusses Galactic dust and how its thermal emission confuses CMBR measurements. Interstellar dust grains are composed of many differing species, and observational evi…
