  3. COBE Dipole ‘97 3.358 mK towards l=264.31 & b= 48.05

  4. Flows and Dipoles (Silk; Peebles; Gunn) Gravity g ~ M/R2 Light f ~ L/R2 So, if <M/L> ~ constant Gravity Vector = Flux Vector

  5. The Infall S-Curve First Target Virgo Infall

  6. Virgo Infall Schechter 1980 Faber Jackson on 32 E’s Virgo Infall 190+/-130 km/s Linear Infall Model for any given galaxy V0bs = VVirgo x - w(cos θ –x) [1 – (x2 -2x cosθ +1) –γ/2] x = distance to galaxy in Virgo Units Virgo has a density contrast that falls as d-γ w is the LG infall velocity to Virgo d is the galaxy’s distance from Virgo θ is the angular separation between Virgo & the galaxy

  7. Nonlinear Model (Schechter ’80; Silk ’74, ’77) Treat each shell around Virgo as its own Universe with its own average interior density and Hubble Constant and own present density parameter . Define the Friedmann arc parameter η cosh-1(2/ -1) for  < 1 cos-1(2/ -1) for  > 1 & define also the functions h (η) = ρ (η) = for  > 1 η = { sin η (η – sin η) (1 cos η)2 (η – sin η)2 (1 – cos η)3

  8. and similar sinh functions for  < 1, then if ηu is the present universal value of the arc and ηg is the value for the shell or a particular galaxy g then the ratios of the local Hubble constant and the average interior density to the universal H and average density are given by h(ηg) / h(ηu) and ρ(ηg) / ρ(ηu) and VObs = VVirgo ( ) and the subscript l refers to the Local Group hu x – (hu –hl)cosθ – (x – cosθ) (hu – hg) hg

  9. Once ρl/ρu and γ are specified, only ρu needs to be set to determine all the h’s to also be specified. Determining w determines ρu and thus  w = (hu/hl -1) VVirgo VVirgo is the Virgo velocity corrected for infall and any remaining peculiar LG velocity

  10. Accurate Motions AMHSSB ‘80 Ten Clusters

  11. V0bs = VHubble + VPeculiar + VGrav we can neglect the gravitational redshifts of galaxies, then VPeculiar = VPattern + VRandom and VP/VH = -1/3 0.6 (Δ - 0.19Δ2 + …..) where Δ = δρ/ρ, the overdensity inside  0.6 ~ 3 ( ) ( )-1 ( 1 + ….) VP δρ VH ρ

  12. IR Tully-Fisher relation

  13. Velocity Perturbations from TF fit to a Virgo Infall Model AHMST 1982 z residuals, no infall V infall ~ 250 km/s w.r.t. Hubble Flow

  14. The Great Attractor Seven Samurai – Lynden-Bell, Faber, Davies, Dressler, Burstein, Terlevich & Wegner Faber-Jackson • Dn-σ on 400 E’s found 570 +/- 60 km/s towards Centaurus

  15. Han & Mould ’90 Bi Flow

  16. Problems ---- (1) Virgo ≠ CMB (2) Hydra-Cen ≠ CMB (3) GA + Virgo ≠ CMB amplitude (4) Honkin’ Pisces-Perseus on the other side (5) Where is Convergence? (6) Biasing

  17. Galaxy Bias If galaxies don’t trace the mass and the galaxy overdensity is not the mass overdensity, one can use the simple linear biasing model So usually the results of flow field analyses are quoted in terms of f()  0.6 / b δρ 1 δn ρ b n =

  18. The Hunt for the DipoleORS(Santiago et al.including Marc)

  19. What is the ideal All-Sky Survey? Go to the near IR! ---- Beat extinction, the bane of optical surveys --- Select for the stars that trace the baryonic mass (not star formation)

  20. 2MASS Telescope at FLWO

  21. CTIO 1.5-meter

  22. 6dF Fiber Positioner, SRC Schmidt, Coonabarabran

  23. Magenta V < 1000 km/s • Blue 1000 < V < 2000 km/s • Green 2000 < V < 3000 km/s

  24. Red3000 < v < 4000 Blue 4000< v < 5000 Green 5000 < v < 6000

  25. Red 6000 < v < 7000 Blue 7000 < v < 8000 Green 8000 < v < 9000

  26. Great Wall LSC We are here Pisces-Perseus KS < 11.25

  27. 2MRS Dipole blue tri = FW - M81, Maffei’s & friends(Erdogdu et al 2006) red tri = FW - only LG

  28. Density vs Flow Fields Don’t do this! Much Better! CMB versus LG Reference Frames

  29. Remember, This Is A Sphere!

  30. Hectospec Positioner on MMT 300 Fibers covering a 1 degree field of view D. Fabricant

  31. Large Synoptic Survey Telescope 8.4-m 7 degree FOV

  32. Galaxy Evolution Galaxies Evolve! A. Population Evolution (Stars) B. Gaseous Evolution A + B = Chemical Evolution C. Dynamical Evolution There is strong evidence for all three

  33. A – we see galaxies with both young and old stellar populations and with current star formation\ B – we see infall (e.g. MW high velocity clouds) and outflow (M33) and cooling flows A+B we see correlations between stellar age and stellar [Fe/H] in the MW. Abundance gradients  in other spirals C – we see mergers, cannibalism, interactions, dynamical friction Basically L, D, U-B, B-V, … L(r,θ), F(λ), Φ(L) all change with time.

  34. Population Evolution Tinsley ‘68, SSB ’73, JPH ’77 and the death of the Hubble/Sandage cosmology program … The Flux from a galaxy at time t and in band i is FG(i,t) =   [ Ψ(k,j) ∫ FK(i,t’) dt’ ] where FK(i,t’) is the flux of star of type k in bandpass i at age t’ and ∫ F is the integrated flux in the jth timestep n-1 (n-j)Δt j k (n-j-1)Δt

  35. This is piecewise, time-weighted summation in an Age-Flux table for stars Ψ(k,j) is the birth rate function of stars of type k in the jth time step Ψ(k,j)  Ψ(m,t) = m–α e–βt The Initial Mass Function (IMF) is often parameterized as m–α with α = 2.35 as the Salpeter slope The Star Formation Rate (SFR) is often parameterized as an exponential in time R(t) = A e–βt or as R(t) = m0/τ e–(t/τ)τ = 1 Bruzual “C” Model  = 1 - e– (1 Gyr / τ)
