Peculiar Velocities and Large Scale Flows as Probes of Gravity, ΛCDM and the Growth of Structure over Cosmic Time

Peculiar velocities are possibly the most powerful probes of very large-scale mass density fluctuations in the nearby Universe. When coupled with a density field they also can constrain the growth factor of the universe by measuring the proportionality constant between observed velocities and linea...
