We study the neutral hydrogen properties of a sample of 20 bulgeless disk galaxies (Sd - Sdm Hubble types), an interesting class that can be used to constrain galaxy formation and evolution, especially the role of mergers versus internal…
A large bulk flow, which is in tension with the Lambda Cold Dark Matter ($\Lambda$CDM) cosmological model, has been observed. In this paper, we provide a physically plausible explanation of this bulk flow, based on the assumption that some…
The behavior of magnetic field in plane symmetric inhomogeneous cosmological models for bulk viscous distribution is investigated. The coefficient of bulk viscosity is assumed to be a power function of mass density $(\xi =\xi_{0}\rho^{n})$.…
The velocity anisotropy of particles inside dark matter (DM) haloes is an important physical quantity, which is required for the accurate modelling of mass profiles of galaxies and clusters of galaxies. It is typically measured using the…
According to the discussion on Birkhoff's theorem by Peebles (1993), a void with a negative perturbation \delta may evolve as a separate homogeneous universe with a local expansion parameter H_V\simeq H_0(1-\delta/3). This slightly low…
We consider the linear kinematics of large-scale peculiar motions in a perturbed Friedmann universe. In so doing, we take the viewpoint of the "real" observers that move along with the peculiar flow, relative to the smooth Hubble expansion.…
We test an analytic model for the two-point correlations of galaxy clusters in redshift space using the Hubble Volume N-body simulations. The correlation function of clusters shows no enhancement along the line of sight, due to the lack of…
We present an updated investigation of the relation between large scale disk circular velocity, v_c, and bulge velocity dispersion, sigma_c. New bulge velocity dispersions are measured for a sample of 11 low surface brightness (LSB) and 7…
One of the fundamental assumptions of the standard $\Lambda$CDM cosmology is that, on large scales, all the matter-energy components of the Universe share a common rest frame. This seems natural for the visible sector, that has been in…
Mass models of galactic disks traditionally rely on axisymmetric density and rotation curves, paradoxically acting as if their most remarkable asymmetric features, such as lopsidedness or spiral arms, were not important. In this article, we…
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…
Peculiar motions are commonplace in the universe. Our local group of galaxies, for example, drifts relative to the Hubble flow at about 600 km/sec. Such bulk flows are believed to fade away as we move on to progressively larger scales.…
We show that the "cold" Hubble flow observed for galaxies around the Milky Way does not represent a problem in cosmology but is due to the particular geometry and dynamics of our local wall. The behavior of the perturbed Hubble flow around…
Recent large-scale peculiar velocity surveys suggest that large matter volumes could be moving with appreciable velocity with respect to the CMB rest frame. If confirmed, such results could conflict with the Cosmological Principle according…
The existence of 'peculiar' velocities due to the formation of cosmic structure marks a point of discord between the real Universe and the usually assumed Friedmann-Lema\'{i}tre-Robertson-Walker metric which accomodates only the smooth…
The cosmological principle asserting the large-scale uniformity of the Universe is a testable assumption of the standard cosmological model. We explore the constraints on anisotropic expansion provided by measuring directional variation in…
I address the following issues: All bulk velocity measurements (but one) are consistent with our standard gravitational instability theory. New accurate data and reconstruction methods allow high-resolution dynamical analysis nearby,…
What is the role of clusters of galaxies in probing the large-scale velocity field of the universe? We investigate the distribution of peculiar velocities of clusters of galaxies in the popular low-density ($\Omega=0.3$) flat…
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…
The meaning of "linear expansion" is explained. Particularly accurate relative distances are compiled and homogenized a) for 246 SNe Ia and 35 clusters with v<30,000 km/s, and b) for relatively nearby galaxies with 176 TRGB and 30 Cepheid…
