The context of the Local Volume: structures and motions in the nearby universe
Matthew Colless
TL;DR
This paper utilizes comprehensive galaxy surveys to map large-scale structures and motions in the nearby universe, reconstructing density and velocity fields to understand local cosmic dynamics.
Contribution
It provides detailed maps and reconstructions of the local universe's structure and motions using the 6dF Galaxy Survey and 2MASS Redshift Survey, advancing understanding of local cosmic flows.
Findings
Reconstructed the density field in the local volume.
Predicted the velocity field and Local Group dipole.
Mapped large-scale structures in the nearby universe.
Abstract
The 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) and the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS) provide the most complete maps of the large-scale structures and motions in the nearby universe. These maps have been used to reconstruct the density field in the local volume, and to predict the corresponding velocity field and the dipole of the Local Group motion.
