We perform a detailed comparison of the IRAS PSCz and 1.2-Jy spherical harmonic coefficients of the predicted velocity fields in redshift space. The monopole terms predicted from the two surveys show some differences. Faint galaxies are…
We have used the two IRAS redshift surveys, 1.2-Jy (Fisher et al 1995) and PSCz (Saunders et al 2000), to model the linear velocity fields within a redshift of 8,000 km/s and have compared them in redshift space. The two velocity fields…
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 apply the formalism of spherical harmonic decomposition to the galaxy density field of the IRAS PSCz redshift survey. The PSCz redshift survey has almost all-sky coverage and includes IRAS galaxies to a flux limit of 0.6 Jy. Using…
We present the results for the predicted density and peculiar velocity fields and the dipole from the PSCz survey of 15,000 IRAS galaxies over 84% of the sky. We find a significant component to the dipole arising between 6000 and 15,000…
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 comparison between the peculiar velocity fields measured from the SFI all-sky Sbc-Sc Tully-Fisher catalog and that derived from the \iras 1.2 Jy redshift survey galaxy distribution. The analysis is based on the expansion of…
We present a comparison between the peculiar velocity field measured from the ENEAR all-sky $D_n-\sigma$ catalog and that derived from the galaxy distribution of the IRAS PSCz redshift survey. The analysis is based on a modal expansion of…
We compute the acceleration on the Local Group using 11206 IRAS galaxies from the recently completed all-sky PSCz redshift survey. Measuring the acceleration vector in redshift space generates systematic uncertainties due to the redshift…
We re-examine the effects of redshift space distortion in all-sky galaxy redshift surveys in the formalism of spherical harmonics. Within this framework we show how one can treat both the large-scale linear effects, and the small-scale…
We constructed a Bayesian hyper-parameter statistical method to quantify the difference between predicted velocities derived from the observed galaxy distribution in the \textit{IRAS}-PSC$z$ redshift survey and peculiar velocities measured…
We report on the measurement of the two-point correlation function and the pairwise peculiar velocity of galaxies in the IRAS PSCz survey. The real space two-point correlation function can be fitted to a power law $\xi(r) =…
We summarise results for the predicted density and peculiar velocity fields from the PSCz survey. We have used a generalisation of the Path Interchange Zeldovich Approximation to determine the velocity field; the most remarkable feature…
We present a self-consistent nonparametric model of the cosmic velocity field based on the spatial distribution of IRAS galaxies in the recently completed all-sky PSC$z$ redshift survey. The most streaking feature of the PSCz model velocity…
We re-examine the gravitational acceleration (dipole) induced on the Local Group of galaxies by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) galaxy distribution of the Point Source Catalogue redshift survey (PSCz). We treat the…
We utilise the method of Wiener reconstruction with spherical harmonics and Bessel functions to recover the density and velocity fields from the IRAS 1.2Jy redshift survey. The results are robust to changes in prior parameters and the…
We present a direct comparison of the clustering properties of two redshift surveys covering a common volume of space: the recently completed IRAS Point Source Catalogue redshift survey (PSCz) containing 14500 galaxies with a limiting flux…
We test and reject the claim of Segal et al. (1993) that the correlation of redshifts and flux densities in a complete sample of IRAS galaxies favors a quadratic redshift-distance relation over the linear Hubble law. This is done, in…
The reconstruction of the peculiar velocity field from the 1.936~Jy iras selected sample of galaxies is compared to a similar reconstruction from an optically selected sample. A general method for combining different samples to reconstruct…
We have reanalyzed and compared the dipoles of the 1.2 Jy and 0.6 Jy (QDOT) IRAS galaxy samples. We find strong indications from both samples for (a) significant contributions to the gravitational field that shapes the Local Group motion…
