Comparison of the ENEAR Peculiar Velocities with the PSCz Gravity Field
We present a comparison between the peculiar velocity field measured from the ENEAR all-sky Dn−σ catalog and that derived from the galaxy distribution of the IRAS PSCz redshift survey. The analysis is based on a modal expansion of these data in redshift space by means of spherical harmonics and Bessel functions. The effective smoothing scale of the expansion is almost linear with redshift reach...
متن کاملCosmological Parameters from the Comparison of the 2mass Gravity Field with Peculiar Velocity Surveys
We compare the peculiar velocity field within 65 h Mpc predicted from 2MASS photometry and public redshift data to three independent peculiar velocity surveys based on type Ia supernovae, surface brightness fluctuations in ellipticals, and Tully-Fisher distances to spirals. The three peculiar velocity samples are each in good agreement with the predicted velocities and produce consistent result...
متن کاملA robust method for fitting peculiar velocity field models
We present a new method for fitting peculiar velocity models to complete flux limited magnitude-redshifts catalogues, using the luminosity function of the sources as a distance indicator. The method is characterised by its robustness. In particular, no assumptions are made concerning the spatial distribution of sources and their luminosity function. Moreover, selection effects in redshift are a...
متن کاملPeculiar Motions and the Galaxy Density Field
We use an all–sky, complete sample of nearby galaxies, extracted from the LEDA data base, to map the optical galaxy density field in the nearby universe. In order to determine this field, we correct the redshift–dependent distances by testing some peculiar velocity field models and we correct the galaxy number density for the incompletion of the galaxy sample at large distances through the deri...
متن کاملThe Velocity Field from Type Ia Supernovae Matches the Gravity Field from Galaxy Surveys
We compare the peculiar velocities of nearby SNe Ia with those predicted by the gravity fields of full sky galaxy catalogs. The method provides a powerful test of the gravitational instability paradigm and strong constraints on the density parameter β ≡ Ω/b. For 24 SNe Ia within 10,000 km s, we find the observed SNe Ia peculiar velocities are well modeled by the predictions derived from the 1.2...
