Questions and Controversies in the Measurement and Interpretation of Large-Scale Flows
Michael A. Strauss
Abstract
This introductory talk to the 1999 Victoria Conference on Large-Scale Flows will present the ``big questions'' which will be discussed in the conference: (a) Does the velocity field converge on the largest scales? (b) Why can't we agree on the value of beta? (c) How can we properly measure the small-scale velocity dispersion? (d) Just how complicated can biasing be? (e) How universal are the distance indicators we are using? (f) How do we design our next generation of surveys to answer the above questions?
