We generate constrained realizations (CRs) of the density and peculiar velocity fields within $200 ; h^{-1} , mathrm{Mpc}$ from the final release of the Two-Micron All-Sky Redshift Survey (2MRS) $-$ the densest all-sky redshift survey to date. The CRs are generated by combining a Wiener filter estimator in spherical Fourier-Bessel space with random realizations of log-normally distributed density fields and Poisson-sampled galaxy positions. The algorithm is tested and calibrated on a set of semi-analytic mock catalogs mimicking the environment of the Local Group (LG), to rigorously account for the statistical and systematic errors of the reconstruction method. By comparing our peculiar velocity CRs with the observed velocities from the Cosmicflows-3 catalog, we constrain the normalized linear growth rate to $f sigma_8^mathrm{lin} = 0.367 pm 0.060$, which is consistent at the $1.1 sigma$ level with the latest Planck results as well as other direct probes. Simultaneously, we estimate a bulk flow contribution from sources beyond the 2MRS reconstruction volume of $B^mathrm{ext} = 199 pm 68 ; mathrm{km} , mathrm{s}^{-1}$ towards $l = 299 pm 18^circ$, $b = 8 pm 19^circ$. The total reconstructed velocity field at the position of the LG, smoothed with a $1 ; h^{-1} , mathrm{Mpc}$ Gaussian, is $685 pm 75 ; mathrm{km} , mathrm{s}^{-1}$ towards $l = 270.6 pm 6.6^circ$, $b = 35.5 pm 7.2^circ$, in good agreement with the observed CMB dipole. The total reconstructed bulk flow within different radii is compatible with other measurements. Within a $50 ; h^{-1} , mathrm{Mpc}$ Gaussian window we find a bulk flow of $274 pm 50 ; mathrm{km} , mathrm{s}^{-1}$ towards $l = 287 pm 9^circ$, $b = 11 pm 10^circ$. The code used to generate the CRs and obtain these results, dubbed CORAS, is made publicly available.

Peculiar velocities are an important probe of the growth rate of mass density fluctuations in the Universe. Most previous studies have focussed exclusively on measuring peculiar velocities at intermediate ($0.2 < z < 1$) redshifts using statistical r
edshift-space distortions. Here we emphasize the power of peculiar velocities obtained directly from distance measurements at low redshift ($z lesssim 0.05$), and show that these data break the usual degeneracies in the Omega_{m,0} -- $sigma_{8,0}$ parameter space. Using only peculiar velocity data, we find $Omega_{m,0} = 0.259pm0.045$ and $sigma_{8,0} = 0.748pm0.035$. Fixing the amplitude of fluctuations at very high redshift using observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the same data can be used to constrain the growth index $gamma$, with the strongest constraints coming from peculiar velocity measurements in the nearby Universe. We find $gamma = 0.619pm 0.054$, consistent with LCDM. Current peculiar velocity data already strongly constrain modified gravity models, and will be a powerful test as data accumulate.
Measurement of peculiar velocities by combining redshifts and distance indicators is a powerful way to measure the growth rate of cosmic structure and test theories of gravity at low redshift. Here we constrain the growth rate of structure by compari
ng observed Fundamental Plane peculiar velocities for 15894 galaxies from the 6dF Galaxy Survey (6dFGS) and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) with predicted velocities and densities from the 2M$++$ redshift survey. We measure the velocity scale parameter $beta equiv {Omega_m^gamma}/b = 0.372^{+0.034}_{-0.050}$ and $0.314^{+0.031}_{-0.047}$ for 6dFGS and SDSS respectively, where $Omega_m$ is the mass density parameter, $gamma$ is the growth index, and $b$ is the bias parameter normalized to the characteristic luminosity of galaxies, $L^*$. Combining 6dFGS and SDSS we obtain $beta= 0.341pm0.024$, implying that the amplitude of the product of the growth rate and the mass fluctuation amplitude is $fsigma_8 = 0.338pm0.027$ at an effective redshift $z=0.035$. Adopting $Omega_m = 0.315pm0.007$ as favoured by Planck and using $gamma=6/11$ for General Relativity and $gamma=11/16$ for DGP gravity, we get $S_8(z=0) = sigma_8 sqrt{Omega_m/0.3} =0.637 pm 0.054$ and $0.741pm0.062$ for GR and DGP respectively. This measurement agrees with other low-redshift probes of large scale structure but deviates by more than $3sigma$ from the latest Planck CMB measurement. Our results favour values of the growth index $gamma > 6/11$ or a Hubble constant $H_0 > 70$,km,s$^{-1}$,Mpc$^{-1}$ or a fluctuation amplitude $sigma_8 < 0.8$ or some combination of these. Imminent redshift surveys such as Taipan, DESI, WALLABY, and SKA1-MID will help to resolve this tension by measuring the growth rate of cosmic structure to 1% in the redshift range $0 < z < 1$.
The line-of-sight peculiar velocities are good indicators of the gravitational fluctuation of the density field. Techniques have been developed to extract cosmological information from the peculiar velocities in order to test the cosmological models.
These techniques include measuring cosmic flow, measuring two-point correlation and power spectrum of the peculiar velocity fields, reconstructing the density field using peculiar velocities. However, some measurements from these techniques are biased due to the non-Gaussianity of the estimated peculiar velocities. Therefore, we use the 2MTF survey to explore a power transform that can Gaussianize the estimated peculiar velocities. We find a tight linear relation between the transformation parameters and the measurement errors of log-distance ratio. To show an example for the implement of the Gaussianized peculiar velocities in cosmology, we develop a bulk flow estimator and estimate bulk flow from the Gaussianized peculiar velocities. We use 2MTF mocks to test the algorithm, we find the algorithm yields unbiased measurements. We also find this technique gives smaller measurement errors compared to other techniques. Under the Galactic coordinates, at the depth of $30$ $h^{-1}$ Mpc, we measure a bulk flow of $332pm27$ km s$^{-1}$ in the direction $(l,b)=(293pm 5^{circ}, 13pm 4^{circ})$. The measurement is consistent with the $Lambda$CDM prediction.
We assess the effect of the local large scale structure on the estimation of two-point statistics of the observed radial peculiar velocities of galaxies. A large N-body simulation is used to examine these statistics from the perspective of random obs
ervers as well as Local Group (LG)-like observers conditioned to reside in an environment resembling the observed universe within 20 Mpc. The local environment systematically distorts the shape and amplitude of velocity statistics with respect to ensemble-averaged measurements made by a Copernican (random) observer. The Virgo cluster has the most significant impact, introducing large systematic deviations in all the statistics. For a simple top-hat selection function, an idealized survey extending to $sim 160h^{-1},{rm Mpc}$ or deeper is needed to completely mitigate the effects of the local environment. Using shallower catalogues leads to systematic deviations of the order of $50$ to $200%$ depending on the scale considered. For a flat redshift distribution similar to the one of the CosmicFlows-3 survey, the deviations are even more prominent in both the shape and amplitude at all separations considered $({stackrel{<}{{}_sim}} 100h^{-1},{rm Mpc})$. Conclusions based on statistics calculated without taking into account the impact of the local environment should be revisited.
