We re-examine the stellar kinematics of the Solar neighbourhood in terms of the velocity of the Sun with respect to the local standard of rest. We show that the classical determination of its component V_sun in the direction of Galactic…

We present a dynamical measurement of the tangential motion of the Andromeda system, the ensemble consisting of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) and its satellites. The system is modelled as a structure with cosmologically-motivated velocity…

We try to determine the Galactic structure by comparing the observed and modeled velocities of OB-associations in the 3 kpc solar neighborhood. We made N-body simulations with a rotating stellar bar. The galactic disk in our model includes…

We report on the detailed analysis of the mean-pairwise peculiar velocity profile in high-resolution cosmological N-body simulations ($N=8.8\times 10^6$ particles in a sphere of $50 \sim 200$Mpc radius). In particular we examine the…

The gravitational interactions between the LMC and the Milky Way cause dynamical perturbations in the MW halo, leading to biased distributions of stellar density and kinematics. We run 50 high-resolution N-body simulations exploring varying…

In this work we use seeing-limited SINFONI H- and K-band spectroscopy to analyse the spatially resolved kinematics of the stellar component in the inner r<1-2 kpc of ten nearby (mean z=0.014) LIRGs. We compare the stellar kinematics with…

In preceding papers of this series, TF relations for galaxies in 24 clusters with radial velocities between 1000 and 9200 km/s (SCI sample) were obtained, a Tully-Fisher (TF) template relation was constructed and mean offsets of each…

We present a study of the gas kinematics within the Hestia project, a state-of-the-art set of simulations of the Local Group, with a particular focus on the velocity patterns of different ions and the large-scale motion of gas and galaxies…

N-body simulations were conducted of pairs of galaxies with a 3:1 mass ratio on parabolic orbits, in order to quantify the effect of dynamical friction. The effects of varying the ratio of the dark matter halo size to the distance of…

Hubble's view that the Local Group (LG) is "a typical, small group of nebulae which is isolated in the general field" is confirmed by modern data. The total number of certain and probable Group members presently stands at 35. The half- mass…

The rotational properties of the visible and dark components of low-mass disk galaxies (vrot<=100 km/s) are investigated using the Swaters sample. The rotational parameter lambda'=lambda_DM*(j_d/m_d) is determined, where lambda_DM is the…

While many tensions between Local Group (LG) satellite galaxies and LCDM cosmology have been alleviated through recent cosmological simulations, the spatial distribution of satellites remains an important test of physical models and…

We analyze the existing rotation-curve data of the Milky Way and M31 galaxies that extends to very large distances and low accelerations. We find a systematic downward trend in the weak acceleration (large distances) segment of the radial…

We use the Gaia data release 1 (DR1) to study the proper motion (PM) fields of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC, SMC). This uses the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) PMs for 29 Hipparcos stars in the LMC and 8 in the SMC.…

We present an all-sky catalogue of 395 nearby galaxy groups revealed in the Local Supercluster and its surroundings. The groups and their associations are identified among 10914 galaxies at |b|>15deg with radial velocities VLG<3500 km/s.…

In kinetic theory, the classic $n \Sigma v$ approach calculates the rate of particle interactions from local quantities: the number density of particles $n$, the cross-section $\Sigma$, and the average relative speed $v$. In stellar…

We applied the currently most comprehensive version of the statistical-parallax technique to derive kinematical parameters of the maser sample with 136 sources. Our kinematic model comprises the overall rotation of the Galactic disk and the…

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 measurements are presented for 85 late M- and L-type very low mass stars and brown dwarfs obtained with the Magellan Echellette (MagE) spectrograph. Targets primarily have distances within 20 pc of the Sun, with more distant…

We use numerical simulations to study the relation between the velocity of the Local Group and its gravitational acceleration. This relation serves as a test for the kinematic origin of the CMB dipole and as a method for estimating beta. We…
