We present new radial velocities for 306 bright (R<16) galaxies in a 77 square deg region of the Shapley supercluster measured with the FLAIR-II spectrograph on the UK Schmidt Telescope. The galaxies we measured were uniformly distributed…
We present analysis of local large scale flows using the Surface Brightness Fluctuation (SBF) Survey for the distances to 300 early-type galaxies. Our models of the distribution function of mean velocity and velocity dispersion at each…
The current $>3\sigma$ tension between the Hubble constant $H_0$ measured from local distance indicators and from cosmic microwave background is one of the most highly debated issues in cosmology, as it possibly indicates new physics or…
The review is devoted to the Radcliffe Wave recently discovered by Alves et al. from the analysis of molecular clouds. These authors singled out a narrow chain of molecular clouds, elongated almost in one line, located at an inclination of…
The phenomenon of the very local ($\le3$ Mpc) Hubble flow is studied on the basis of the data of recent precision observations. A set of computer simulations is performed to trace the trajectories of the flow galaxies back in time to the…
An accurate determination of the Hubble constant remains a puzzle in observational cosmology. The possibility of a new physics has emerged with a significant tension between the current expansion rate of our Universe measured from the…
The standard method of measuring the galaxy pairwise velocity dispersion on small scales is heavily weighted by the densest regions in a way that is difficult to calibrate. We propose a new statistic which measures the small-scale velocity…
The circular velocities of the inner region of disk galaxies are predicted by standard physics but velocities beyond the stellar disks are not consistent with Newtonian physics if the material there is in stable circular orbits. However,…
SNe Ia are used to determine the distance-redshift relation and build the Hubble diagram. Neglecting their host-galaxy peculiar velocities (PVs) may bias the measurement of cosmological parameters. The smaller the redshift, the larger the…
Peculiar velocities are a precious tool to study the large-scale distribution of matter in the local universe and test cosmological models. However, present measurements of peculiar velocities are based on empirical distance indicators,…
In an isotropic and homogeneous Hubble expansion, all transverse motion is peculiar. Like the radial peculiar velocities of galaxies, transverse peculiar velocities are a means to trace the density of matter that does not rely on light…
We present an analysis of the residual velocities from a sample of 105 Galactic planetary nebulae (PNe), the largest done to date on this subject. The analysis has been carried out with long-slit, high dispersion echelle spectra. The data…
To reveal small galaxy groups in the Local Supercluster, a new approach is suggested which allows for individual properties of galaxies. The criterion is based on the assumption of closed motions of companions around the dominating group…
The estimation of the Hubble constant in the past few decades has increasingly become more accurate with the advance of new techniques. But its value seems to depend on the epoch at which the measurements are made. The Planck estimate of…
Two particular challenges face type Ia supernovae (SNeIa) as probes of the expansion rate of the Universe. One is that they may not be fair tracers of the matter velocity field, and the second is that their peculiar velocities distort the…
How does a smooth cosmic distance ladder emerge from observations made from a single location in a lumpy Universe? Distances to Type Ia supernovae in the Hubble flow are anchored on local distance measurements to sources that are very…
We explore the implications of models of the Hyades moving group in which it has a resonant origin, for regions of the Galaxy beyond the Solar neighbourhood. We show that while models associated with different resonances can produce nearly…
Peculiar velocity measurements are the only tool available in the low-redshift Universe for mapping the large-scale distribution of matter and can thus be used to constrain cosmology. Using redshifts from the 2M++ redshift compilation, we…
Radial velocity fluctuations on the plane of the sky are a powerful tool for studying the turbulent dynamics of emission line regions. We conduct a systematic statistical analysis of the H alpha velocity field for a diverse sample of 9 H II…
Using an updated SN list and galaxy parameters from the RC3 catalog, we have revisited two well know biases affecting SN searches. We show that the bias in the central region of galaxies is negligible for galaxies closer than 40 Mpc (H=75),…
