Abstract

We present a self-consistent nonparametric model of the cosmic velocity field based on the spatial distribution of IRAS galaxies in the recently completed all-sky PSCz redshift survey. The most streaking feature of the PSCz model velocity field is a coherent large-scale streaming motion along the Perseus Pisces, Local Supercluster, Great Attractor and Shapley Concentration baseline, with no evidence for a backinfall into the Great Attractor region. A likelihood analysis has been performed to measure β. We have obtained β=0.6+0.22-0.15 (1-σ), in agreement with other recent determinations.
