A precision method for determining the value of Beta= Omega_m^{0.6}/b, where b is the galaxy bias parameter, is presented. In contrast to other existing techniques that focus on estimating this quantity by measuring distortions in the…
Cosmological implications of the observed large-scale peculiar velocities are reviewed, alone or combined with redshift surveys and CMB data. The latest version of the POTENT method for reconstructing the underlying three-dimensional…
Measurements of the cosmological density parameter (Omega) using techniques that exploit the gravity-induced motions of galaxies yield, in linear perturbation theory, the degenerate parameter combination beta=Omega^{0.6}/b, where the linear…
We compare the statistical properties of structures normal and transverse to the line of sight which appear in observational data from redshift surveys. We present a statistic which can quantify this effect in a conceptually different way…
The measurement of cosmological parameters is investigated in a representation of the least-action method that uses a redshift-space dataset to simultaneously constrain the real-space fields $\delta$,$\b v$. This method is robust in…
Using a novel two-dimensional coordinate system, we have derived a particularly simple way to express the redshift distortions in galaxy redshift surveys with arbitrary geometry in closed form. This method provides an almost ideal way to…
We compare the peculiar velocities measured in the SBF Survey of Galaxy Distances with the predictions from the density fields of the IRAS 1.2 Jy flux-limited redshift survey and the Optical Redshift Survey (ORS) to derive simultaneous…
Galaxy redshift surveys provide a distorted picture of the universe due to the non-Hubble component of galaxy motions. By measuring such distortions in the linear regime one can constrain the quantity $\beta = \Omega^{0.6}/b$ where $\Omega$…
We present a new method for reconstructing the cosmological density, peculiar velocity and peculiar gravitational potential on large scales from redshift data. We remove the distorting effects of line-of-sight peculiar motions by using the…
I derive a second-order local relation between the REDSHIFT-space mass density field and the REAL-space velocity field. This relation can be useful for comparisons between the cosmic density and peculiar velocity fields, for a number of…
Measurements of the cosmological density parameter Omega using techniques that exploit the gravity-induced motions of galaxies constrain, in linear perturbation theory, the degenerate parameter combination beta = Omega^{0.6}/b, where the…
The pixon-based image reconstruction of Puetter and Pi\~na has achieved significant improvements over other methods in higher spatial resolution, greater sensitivity to faint sources, and immunity to the production of spurious artifacts and…
The kinetic Sunyaev Zel'dovich (kSZ) and moving lens effects, secondary contributions to the cosmic microwave background (CMB), carry significant cosmological information due to their dependence on the large-scale peculiar velocity field.…
Given the failure of existing models for redshift-space distortions to provide a highly accurate measure of the beta-parameter, and the ability of forthcoming surveys to obtain data with very low random errors, it becomes necessary to…
We propose a simple way to estimate the parameter beta = Omega_m^(0.6)/b from three-dimensional galaxy surveys. Our method consists in measuring the relation between the cosmological velocity and gravity fields, and thus requires peculiar…
We characterize the peculiar velocity field of the local large-scale structure reconstructed from the $2M++$ survey, by treating it as a fluid, extracting the divergence via different approximations over a range pf averaged scales. This…
I propose to compare the redshift-space density field directly to the REAL-SPACE velocity field. Such a comparison possesses all of the advantages of the conventional redshift-space analyses, while at the same time it is free of their…
I derive a nonlinear local relation between the redshift-space density field and the real-space velocity field. The relation accounts for radial character of redshift distortions, and it is not restricted to the limit of the distant…
We apply a new algorithm, called the Unbiased Minimal Variance (hereafter UMV) estimator, to reconstruct the cosmic density and peculiar velocity fields in our local universe from the SEcat catalog of peculiar velocities comprising both…
We have constrained the redshift-distortion parameter $\beta \equiv \Omega^{0.6}/b$ and the real-space power spectrum of the IRAS PSCz survey using a spherical-harmonic redshift-distortion analysis combined with a data compression method…
