Power Spectrum Shape from Peculiar Velocity Data
We constrain the velocity power spectrum shape parameter Γ in linear theory using the nine bulk–flow and shear moments estimated from four recent peculiar velocity surveys. For each survey, a likelihood function for Γ was found after marginalizing over the power spectrum amplitude σ8Ω 0.6 m using constraints obtained from comparisons between redshift surveys and peculiar velocity data. In order...
متن کاملKlun+ Peculiar Velocity Survey
The enhanced Kinematics of the Local Universe (KLUN+) galaxy sample is a collection of galaxies suitable for Tully-Fisher (TF) or Faber-Jackson (FJ) distance estimation. Here we extract a subsample of 6229 KLUN+ galaxies closer than 80h −1 Mpc, and calculate their distances and peculiar velocities with the Iterative Normalized Distance method. Within this method we can derive an analytical form...
متن کاملContrast and Peculiar Velocity
Concepts like peculiar velocity, gravitational force, and power spectrum and their interrelationships are of utmost importance in the theories of structure formation. The observational implementation of these concepts is usually based on the Newtonian hydrodynamic equations, but used up to scales where general relativistic effects come in. Using a perturbation of FRW metric in harmonic gauge, w...
متن کاملOptimal Moments for the Analysis of Peculiar Velocity Surveys
We present a new method for the analysis of peculiar velocity surveys which removes contributions to velocities from small scale, nonlinear velocity modes while retaining information about large scale motions. Our method utilizes Karhunen–Loève methods of data compression to construct a set of moments out of the velocities which are minimally sensitive to small scale power. The set of moments a...
متن کاملThe RMS Peculiar Velocity of Clusters
We study the rms peculiar velocity of clusters as a convenient statistic to put constraints on cosmological models. This statistic is easy to compute theoretically given a model for the power spectrum; we show that with some assumptions it can be directly related to the quantity Ω 0 σ8. We develop a likelihood method for estimating the rms peculiar velocity of clusters from line-of-sight veloci...
