We present scale-dependent measurements of the normalised growth rate of structure $f\sigma_{8}(k, z=0)$ using only the peculiar motions of galaxies. We use data from the 6-degree Field Galaxy Survey velocity sample (6dFGSv) together with a…

The dynamics of the Local Group and its environment provide a unique challenge to cosmological models. The velocity field within 5h-1 Mpc of the Local Group (LG) is extremely ``cold''. The deviation from a pure Hubble flow, characterized by…
