We introduce the NOAO Fundamental Plane Survey (NFPS), a wide-field imaging/spectroscopic study of rich, low-redshift galaxy clusters. The survey targets X-rayselected clusters at 0.010 < z < 0.067, distributed over the whole sky, with imaging and sp... Read More about NOAO fundamental plane survey. I.

We analyse in detail the peculiar velocity field traced by 56 clusters within 120 h1 Mpc in the 'Streaming Motions of Abell Clusters' (SMAC) sample. The bulk flow of the SMAC sample is 687 ± 203 km s1, toward l= 260°± 13°, b= 0°± 11°. We discuss poss... Read More about Streaming motions of galaxy clusters within 12 000 km/s - V.
