Cosmological Velocity Field
The motion at a point in space due to the gravitational attraction of surrounding masses; distinct from the expansion
Usually measured using tracers e.g.: galaxies; SN1a; galaxy clusters
Radial motion of a galaxy (vp) is therefore: cz=H0d+vp
Better than the galaxy density field because: the velocities are directly related to the underlying gravitational potential field
Worse that the galaxy density field because: really hard to measure accurately!
Hubble expansion (H0d)

In linear theory the velocity field is directly

Why is this interesting?
Don’t need to worry (as much) about galaxy biasing Only way to measure redshift zero clustering
WMAP5 CDM: 8=0.80+/-0.03, CDM+: 8=0.67+/-0.08
Very sensitive to the derivative of the growth function Use growth of structure to detect departures from CDM
They are a “useful” systematic of BAO and SN1a measurements You will have to care!
Recent large-scale bulk flow measurements seem to disagree with CDM ….

Recent large scale flow results
Watkins, Feldman & Hudson (2009) Use all galaxy PV catalogues Data suggest the bulk flow within a
Gaussian window of 50Mpc/h is 407+/-81km/s (not rms)
Probability of this flow in WMAP5 normalised CDM universe is of order 1%
Similar result in Lavaux et al. (2008) using 2MASS
Kashlinsky et al. (2008) Use kSZ effect measured from
CMB+X-ray data

Challenges
Large errors Galaxy peculiar velocities use FP or
Dn- scaling relations: 15-22% distance error
SN1a use peak brightness-width relation: 5-10% distance error
~(kSZ may have errors of just 100km/s)
Malmquist bias If error is >8% distance then non-
uniform sampling due to the inhomogeneous density distribution induces spurious flows if not corrected
Nonlinearities

Smoothing method
Need to smooth over radial velocity field: Average out nonlinear scales Apply some data compression
We choose to smooth with a grid Simple window function
Doesn’t preferentially pick out high density peaks (c.f. FOF)
Fast computation

Conclusions
Galaxy and SN1a peculiar velocities can provide a low redshift anchor for measuring the evolution of the growth of structure.
Their sensitivity to the derivative of the growth function mean they are a useful tool for detecting departures from LCDM.
Our constraints are consistent with many other constraints found in the literature, and with LCDM. However the constraints come from a mix of scales, and are dominated by the smaller scales. Any departure from LCDM on larger scales (> 100Mpc/h) will not be well tested by this data set.
Because peculiar velocities will be subject to different systematic effects to other probes such as cluster-counts, weak lensing or redshift distortions, they are an important complementary probe of cosmology.

Future velocity field studies
6dFGS galaxy velocity data release Expect around 10,000 velocities out to z~0.055 Soon! See next slide ….
SN1a Larger future data sets from SNFactory, SkyMapper, GAIA
Kinematic Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect Compton scattering of CMB photons by hot electrons in galaxy cluster gas Can measure temperature shift of CMB photons -> line of sight momentum of the
cluster
Redshift distortions Flattening of large scale structures in redshift space is caused by
peculiar velocities A systematic error when measuring BAO (with spec-z) BUT can be modelled and contains cosmological information!

Status: 6dF velocity sample
The following information was kindly given by Chris Springob (AAO): The survey is completed, all data reduction is done, and velocity dispersions
measured. Final redshift catalogue is published (Jones et al. 2009 MNRAS 399, 683). Photometric parameters have been derived from 2MASS images. Measurement errors and correlations have been derived on both photometric
parameters and velocity dispersions. Next step is to fit the fundamental plane via a maximum likelihood fit to a 3D
Gaussian, as was used for EFAR. Issues still to solve: how to weight the galaxies to account for the selection
effects, and what criteria to use to eliminate outliers. May have a best fit FP as early as next week. Then they will either move onto peculiar velocities, or first do a more
systematic study of how the FP depends on environment, stellar populations, etc.
Alex Merson at Durham is working on producing a 6dF group catalogue. Currently there is just a preliminary version, but the final version will be ready soon.

6dFGS will give us many more galaxies with cz > 10,000 km/s.
Currently about 10,000 galaxies but morphological classification check still to be done to remove late type galaxy contamination

Red is galaxies in large groups; green in medium sized groups; and blue is singletons
There is no evidence for variation with
environment.
