The first results from a Tully-Fisher (TF) survey of cluster galaxies are presented. The galaxies are drawn from fifteen Abell clusters that lie in the redshift range 9000-12,000 km/sec and are distributed uniformly around the celestial…
This study is a part of the Cosmicflows-4 project with the aim of measuring the distances of more than ~10,000 spiral galaxies in the local universe up to ~15,000 km/s. New HI linewidth information has come primarily from the Arecibo Legacy…
The observed radial velocity of a galaxy consists of two main components: the recession velocity caused by the smooth Hubble expansion and the peculiar velocity resulting from the gravitational attraction of growing structures due to matter…
We measure the distribution of velocities for prograde and retrograde satellite galaxies using a combination of published data and new observations for 78 satellites of 63 extremely isolated disc galaxies (169 satellites total). We find…
Using the Very Large Telescope in Multi Object Spectroscopy mode, we have observed a sample of 113 field spiral galaxies in the FORS Deep Field (FDF) with redshifts in the range 0.1<z<1.0. The galaxies were selected upon apparent brightness…
The Tully-Fisher relation of spiral galaxies shows notable dependence on morphological types, with earlier type spirals having systematically lower luminosity at fixed maximum rotation velocity $V_{max}$. This decrement of luminosity is…
We report a direct observational evidence for the existence of the galaxy spin alignments with the real space tidal field. We calculate the real space tidal field from the real space density field reconstructed recently from the Two Mass…
We calibrate the Tully-Fisher relation (TFR) using observations of spiral galaxies taken during the first year (DR1) of the DESI galaxy redshift survey. The rotational velocities of 10,262 galaxies are measured at 0.4 R26 by comparing the…
Using the latest sample of 48 spiral galaxies having a directly measured supermassive black hole mass, $M_{BH}$, we determine how the maximum disk rotational velocity, $v_{max}$ (and the implied dark matter halo mass, $M_{DM}$), correlates…
We present the final distance measurements for the 2MASS Tully-Fisher (2MTF) survey. The final 2MTF catalogue contains 2,062 nearby spiral galaxies in the CMB frame velocity range of 600 km s$^{-1}$ $< cz < 10,000$ km s$^{-1}$ with a mean…
Several measures of galaxy size and mass obtained from the neutral hydrogen mapping of 70 dwarf irregular galaxies presented in Paper I (Hoffman et al. 1996) are compared statistically to those for the set of all available HI-mapped dwarfs…
We present a numerical study of the relation between the cosmic peculiar velocity field and the gravitational acceleration field. We show that on mildly non-linear scales (4-10 Mpc Gaussian smoothing), the distribution of the Cartesian…
We study the peculiar velocity field inferred from the Mark III spirals using a new method of analysis. We estimate optimal values of Tully-Fisher scatter and zero-point offset, and we derive the 3-dimensional rms peculiar velocity…
We present a detailed comparison between the photometric properties of the bulges of two simulated galaxies and those of a uniform sample of observed galaxies. This analysis shows that the simulated galaxies have bulges with realistic…
We present the first results from the Shellflow program, an all-sky Tully-Fisher (TF) peculiar velocity survey of 276 Sb-Sc galaxies with redshifts between 4500 and 7000 km/s. Shellflow was designed to minimize systematic errors between…
We present a new optical Tully-Fisher (TF) investigation for a complete, full-sky sample of 297 Sb-Sc spirals with redshifts between 4500 and 7000 km/s. The survey was specifically designed to provide uniform, well- calibrated data over…
(abridged) We perform a reconstruction of the cosmological large scale flows in the nearby Universe using two complementary observational sets. The first, the SFI++ sample of Tully-Fisher (TF) measurements of galaxies, provides a direct…
In this work we investigate the environmental dependence of the intrinsic ellipticity correlations in cosmic shear surveys. We use the quadratic and linear alignment model to describe the contributions by spiral and elliptical galaxies,…
We evaluate numerically the velocity field distributions produced by a bounded, two-dimensional fluid model consisting of a collection of parallel ideal line vortices. We sample at many spatial points inside a rigid circular boundary. We…
A Tully-Fisher (TF) relation from H-alpha rotation curves of 19 luminous, star-forming galaxies reveals there is little evidence for evolution in the mass-to-light ratio (M/L) of these galaxies to z~0.3. The near-infrared Tolman…
