Peculiar velocities are an important probe of the growth rate of mass density fluctuations in the Universe. Most previous studies have focussed exclusively on measuring peculiar velocities at intermediate ($0.2 < z < 1$) redshifts using…
The detailed nature of dark energy remains a mystery, leaving the possibility that its effects might be explained by changes to the laws of gravity on large scales. The peculiar velocities of galaxies directly trace the strength of gravity…
Cosmological parameters can be measured by comparing peculiar velocities with those predicted from a galaxy density field. Previous work has tested the accuracy of this approach with N-body simulations, but generally on idealised mock…

Galaxy cluster peculiar velocities can be inferred from high-sensitivity, high-resolution multiple-frequency observations in the 30 to 400 GHz range. While galaxy cluster counts and power spectra are sensitive to the growth factor, peculiar…

Measurement of peculiar velocities by combining redshifts and distance indicators is a powerful way to measure the growth rate of cosmic structure and test theories of gravity at low redshift. Here we constrain the growth rate of structure…
The key probes of the growth of large-scale structure are its rate $f$ and amplitude $\sigma_8$. Redshift space distortions in the galaxy power spectrum allow us to measure only the combination $f\sigma_8$, which can be used to constrain…
We detect the correlated peculiar velocities of nearby type Ia supernovae (SNe), while highlighting an error in some of the literature. We find sigma_8=0.79 +/- 0.22 from SNe, and examine the potential of this method to constrain…
Peculiar velocity measurements constrain the parameter combination $f\sigma_8$, the product of the linear growth rate $f$ and the fluctuation amplitude $\sigma_8$. Under the approximation that $f$ is a monotonic function of $\Omega_{\rm…
A precise determination of the mass function is an important tool to verify cosmological predictions of the $\Lambda$CDM model and to infer more precisely the better model describing the evolution of the Universe. Galaxy clusters have been…
A promising method for measuring the cosmological parameter combination fsigma_8 is to compare observed peculiar velocities with peculiar velocities predicted from a galaxy density field using perturbation theory. We use N-body simulations…
The matter fluctuation parameter $\sigma_8$ is, by model construction, degenerate with the growth index $\gamma$. Here, we study the effect on the cosmological parameter constraints by treating each independently from one another,…
Joint analysis of the local peculiar velocity and galaxy density fields offers a promising route to testing cosmological models of gravity. We present a measurement of the normalised growth rate of structure, $f\sigma_8$, from the two-point…
Spatial variations in the distribution of galaxy luminosities, estimated from redshifts as distance proxies, are correlated with the peculiar velocity field. Comparing these variations with the peculiar velocities inferred from galaxy…
