A Large-Scale Bulk Flow of Galaxy Clusters
We report first results from the ``Streaming Motions of Abell Clusters'' (SMAC) project, an all-sky Fundamental Plane survey of 699 early-type galaxies in 56 clusters between ~3000 km/s and ~14000 km/s. For this sample, with a median distance of ~8000 km/s, we find a bulk flow of amplitude...
