Velocity Fields from IRAS-PSCz survey

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present a self-consistent nonparametric model of the cosmic velocity field based on the spatial distribution of IRAS galaxies in the recently completed all-sky PSCzz redshift survey. The most streaking feature of the PSCz model velocity field is a coherent large-scale streaming motion along the Perseus Pisces, Local Supercluster, Great Attractor and Shapley Concentration baseline, with no evidence for a backinfall into the Great Attractor region. A likelihood analysis has been performed to measure β\beta. We have obtained β=0.60.15+0.22\beta =0.6^{+0.22}_{-0.15} (1-σ\sigma), in agreement with other recent determinations.
