We combine the recently published CIZA galaxy cluster catalogue with the XBACs cluster sample to produce the first all-sky catalogue of X-ray clusters in order to examine the origins of the Local Group's peculiar velocity without the use of…

In the standard (LCDM) model of cosmology the universe has emerged out of an early homogeneous and isotropic phase. Structure formation is associated with the growth of density irregularities and peculiar velocities. Our Local Group is…

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…

We revisit our mapping of the `Local Hole', a large underdensity in the local galaxy redshift distribution that extends out to redshift, $z\approx0.05$ and a potential source of outflows that may perturb the global expansion rate and thus…

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…

The peculiar velocity of the Local Group, reconstructed from inhomogeneities in the local density field, differs in direction and magnitude from the velocity inferred from the Cosmic Microwave Background dipole. We investigate whether…

By correcting the redshift--dependent distances for peculiar motions through a number of peculiar velocity field models, we recover the true distances of a wide, all-sky sample of nearby galaxies (~ 6400 galaxies with velocities cz<5500…

Recent research reveals that the Local Group is in motion towards $(l, b) = (276, 30)$ relative to the cosmic background radiation, manifesting a velocity of 600 $\frac{km}{s}$ a phenomenon recognized as the cosmic background radiation…

We analyze in detail the peculiar velocity field traced by 56 clusters within 120 h^-1 Mpc in the Streaming Motions of Abell Clusters (SMAC) sample. The bulk flow of the SMAC sample is 687 +- 203 km/s, toward l = 260 +- 13, b = 0 +- 11. We…

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…

Comparing the observed peculiar velocities of the Local Group and of nearby Abell clusters of galaxies with those predicted using linear perturbation theory and the 3-D reconstruction algorithm of Branchini \& Plionis (1995) the value of…

Starting from the observed distribution of galaxy clusters in redshift space we use a two--step procedure to recover their distances and peculiar velocities. After statistically correcting for the unobserved cluster distribution in the zone…

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…

We present results of our wide-field redshift survey of galaxies in a 285 square degree region of the Shapley Supercluster (SSC), based on a set of 10529 velocity measurements (including 1201 new ones) on 8632 galaxies obtained from various…

Recent observations of dipole anisotropies show that the velocity of the Local Group ($\Vec v_{\rm G}$) induced by the clustering of IRAS galax ies has an amplitude and direction similar to those of the velocity of Cosmic Microwave…

We place constraints on the dynamics of the Local Group (LG) by comparing the dipole of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) with the peculiar velocity induced by the 2MRS galaxy sample. The analysis is limited by the lack of surveyed…

We used the FourStar near-IR camera on Magellan-Baade to obtain high S/N H-Band imaging of 66 galaxies with radial velocities of 2000 < V < 5000 km/s. Our goal was to use the superior distance measurements of surface-brightness-fluctuations…

We have obtained new Tully-Fisher (TF) peculiar velocity measurements for 52 Abell galaxy clusters distributed throughout the sky between ~ 50 and 200 Mpc/h.The measurements are based on I band photometry and optical rotation curves for a…

Comparing the gravitational acceleration induced on the Local Group of galaxies by different tracers of the underline density field we estimate, within the linear gravitational instability theory and the linear biasing ansatz, their…

We present the results of a galaxy redshift survey in the central region of the Shapley Concentration. Our total sample contains ~2000 radial velocities of galaxies both in the clusters and in the intercluster field. We reconstruct the…
