The SFI++ consists of ~5000 spiral galaxies which have measurements suitable for the application of the I-band Tully-Fisher (TF) relation. This sample builds on the SCI and SFI samples published in the 1990s but includes significant amounts…

We present a self consistent nonparametric model of the local cosmic velocity field based on the density distribution in the PSCz redshift survey of IRAS galaxies. The error analysis, carried out on mock PSCz catalogues constructed from…

We present a simple method for measuring cosmological bulk flows from large redshift surveys, based on the apparent dimming or brightening of galaxies due to their peculiar motion. It is aimed at estimating bulk flows of cosmological…

The Teerikorpi incompleteness bias in the distance modulus of a galaxy cluster that is determined from incomplete data using the Tully-Fisher (TF) method is discussed differently than has been done in earlier papers of this series. A toy…

In this paper we carry out a preliminary study of the dependence of the Tully-Fisher Relation (TFR) with the width and intensity level of the absolute magnitude interval of a limited sample of 2411 galaxies taken from Mathewson \& Ford…

We derive the 60\mu local LF to sensitivity levels 10 times deeper than before, to investigate evolutionary effects up to a redshift of 0.37, and, using the 60/15\mu bi-variate method, the poorly known 15\mu local LF of galaxies. We…

The Tully-Fisher Relation (TFR) is a well-known empirical relationship between the luminosity of a spiral galaxy and its circular velocity, allowing us to estimate redshift independent distances. Here we use high signal-to-noise HI 21-cm…

We measure the distribution function of rotational velocities phi(V_c) of late-type galaxies from the HIPASS galaxy catalogue. Previous measurements of the late-type velocity function are indirect, derived by converting the galaxy…

Motivated by recent pioneering measurements of galaxy kinematics at intermediate redshifts, we have begun a pilot survey to measure rotation curves for blue, star-forming galaxies between 0.05<z<0.35. The scientific impetus for such…

We present an alternative, Bayesian method for large-scale reconstruction from observed peculiar velocity data. The method stresses a rigorous treatment of the random errors and it allows extrapolation into poorly sampled regions in real…

The Tully-Fisher (Tully and Fisher 1977; TF) relation is applied to obtain peculiar velocities of field spirals galaxies and to calculate dipoles of the peculiar velocity field to cz ~ 8000 km/s. The field galaxy sample is spatially…
