A NEW METHOD OF STUDYING GALAXY VELOCITY FIELD: FIRST RESULTS

Astrophysics 2016-06-08 v1

Abstract

It is shown that the average magnitude - redshift diagram for a magnitude-limited sample of galaxies can be effectively used for mapping galaxy velocity field. This new approach is quantitatively introduced and applied to the CfA, ESO/LV and ZCAT samples of galaxies. Strong arguments are presented for infall velocities in the Virgo and Fornax superclusters and in the Great Wall structure.
