Peculiar-velocity surveys of the low-redshift universe have significant leverage to constrain the growth rate of cosmic structure and test gravity. Wide-field imaging surveys combined with multi-object spectrographs (e.g. ZTF2, LSST, DESI,…
Peculiar velocity surveys, which measure galaxy peculiar velocities directly from standard candles in addition to redshifts, can provide strong constraints on the linear growth rate of cosmological large-scale structure at low redshift. The…
Starting from the observed redshift distribution of a volume limited Abell/ACO cluster sample we use a 2-step procedure to recover their distances and peculiar velocities (assuming linear theory and linear biasing). The resulting 3D dipole…

We study the gravitational influence of very large scale structures, as traced by clusters of galaxies, on the Local Group [LG] motion and the large scale flows. We derive from the distribution of Abell clusters within $300~$Mpc/h the…

The peculiar velocity field of the local Universe provides direct insights into its matter distribution and the underlying theory of gravity, and is essential in cosmological analyses for modelling deviations from the Hubble flow. Numerous…
We describe the construction of an N-body simulation that mimics the true velocity and mass-density fields in a box of side 256\hmpc about the Local Group , and the production of mock catalogs that mimic in detail current catalogs of…
The peculiar velocities of biased tracers of the cosmic density field contain important information about the growth of large scale structure and generate anisotropy in the observed clustering of galaxies. Using N-body data, we show that…
Peculiar motion introduces systematic variations in the observed luminosity distribution of galaxies. This allows one to constrain the cosmic peculiar velocity field from large galaxy redshift surveys. Using around half a million galaxies…
Recent progress in the measurement of relative distances to galaxies has been quite substantial, and catalogs of 3000 galaxies with distances are soon to become available. The peculiar {\it velocity} field (deviations from Hubble flow)…
