We consider a measure of the peculiar velocity field derived from the Mark III compilation of 2900 spiral galaxies (Willick \etal 1996b), using an analysis that is substantially free of bias (Nusser and Davis 1995). We expand the velocity…

We give a brief review of recent developments in the study of the large-scale velocity field of galaxies since the international workshop on Cosmic Flows held in July 1999 in Victoria, B.C. Peculiar velocities (PVs) yield a tight and unique…

We present a maximum probability approach to reconstructing spatial maps of the peculiar velocity field at redshifts $z\sim0.1$, where the velocities have been measured from distance indicators (DI) such as $D_n-\sigma$ relations or…

Galaxy peculiar velocities provide an integral source of cosmological information that can be harnessed to measure the growth rate of large scale structure and constrain possible extensions to General Relativity. In this work, we present a…

Full sky surveys of peculiar velocity are arguably the best way to map the large scale structure out to distances of a few times 100 Mpc/h. Using the largest and most accurate ever catalog of galaxy peculiar velocities "Cosmicflows-2", the…

The recent re-evaulation of the peculiar velocity field outside the Local Supercluster (Dekel et al. 1999, ApJ 522) has permitted a re-examination of the origins of the peculiar velocity field within the Local Supercluster using the Mark…

Using the Tully-Fisher relation, we derive peculiar velocities for the 2MASS Tully-Fisher Survey and describe the velocity field of the nearby Universe. We use adaptive kernel smoothing to map the velocity field, and compare it to…
