A large fraction of the extragalactic sky is obscured by foreground dust and stars along the plane of the Milky Way, leaving a major gap (~ 20%) in whole-sky maps of large-scale structures -- an incompleteness that is even more severe for peculiar velocity samples. This has long limited an unambiguous interpretation of observed cosmic flows and their connection to the underlying mass-density field.
We present a new hybrid reconstruction methodology which combines 65,518 galaxy peculiar velocity distances from the CF4++ catalogue (Courtois2025) with 8283 new galaxy redshifts observed near the southern Galactic plane (|b| <= 10 degrees) Zone of Avoidance. A major advance is the inclusion of 2176 high-sensitivity, interferometric HI redshifts obtained with the SARAO MeerKAT telescope which for the first time provide coverage of the innermost 3degrees-wide strip of the southern ZOA and to unprecedented depth.
This hybrid redshifts & peculiar velocities approach yields a substantially revised view of the inferred overdensities in and around the ZOA. In particular, the Vela supercluster emerges as a dominant mass concentration, rivaling the Shapley concentration and exceeding the mass associated with Laniakea and the Great Attractor region. With a total mass of 33.8 10^16 Msol, a characteristic radius of 70 hmpc, and a double core morphology at a distance of 189 hmpc, Vela dominates the mass budget and gravitational influence of the southern Zone of Avoidance. These results provide the most complete and dynamically consistent picture to date of the southern Zone of Avoidance and demonstrate the transformative potential of hybrid reconstruction techniques tailored for the next generation of large-scale surveys.

Local Hole revisited: evidence for bulk motions and self-consistent outflow
我们重新审视我们的映射的“本地洞”,一个大的欠密度的本地星系红移分布,延伸到红移,$z\approx0.05$和流出的潜在来源,可能会扰乱全球的膨胀率,从而有助于减轻目前的“$H_0$紧张”。首先,我们比较了通过星系平均红移-星等哈勃图,$\bar{z}(m)$,与一个简单的动力学外流模型的基础上,在本地洞的平均欠密度测量的本地特有的速度。我们发现,这个外流模型是在很好的协议与我们的特有的速度测量从$\bar{z}(m)$,并没有显着不一致的SNIa特有的速度测量,至少从最大的以前的调查。这种外流可能会导致哈勃常数的局部值增加$\approx2-3$ %。其次,考虑到各向异性运动,我们发现,除了外流模型可能会提高$\bar{z}(m)$适合的大规模流动,否则星系在本地集团框架中休息。我们的结论是,本地洞加上邻近的超密度,如沙普利超星系团可能会导致外流和整体运动到$\approx150$ h $^{-1}$ Mpc的宇宙学意义,需要考虑在估计哈勃常数。
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Peculiar Velocity Catalogue
利用斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)的基本面(FP)测量数据,给出了一个新的$34,059$早型星系的距离和奇特速度(PV)目录。这$7016\,\mathrm{deg}^{2}$均匀的样品包括迄今为止最大的一组奇特的速度,并扩展了光伏调查的范围高达红移极限$z=0.1$。我们基于SDS的FP距离测量的平均不确定度为23%。除了这些数据,我们还制作了一个2,048个模拟星系目录的集合,这些目录再现了数据选择函数,并用于验证我们的拟合管道和检查系统误差。我们发现组丰富度和平均表面亮度之间的显着趋势的样本,这可能暗示在FP内的环境依赖性或未解决的系统学的存在,并可能导致偏奇特的速度。这是删除使用多个FP拟合作为组丰富度的函数,通过一个新的解析推导的3D高斯积分超过非平凡的限制,一个易于处理的过程。我们的目录被校准到CosmicFlows-III样本的零点,不确定度为$0.004$ dex(不包括宇宙方差或CosmicFlows-III本身的误差),这是通过与我们当地速度场的2 M ++重建预测的零点进行独立交叉检查来验证的。最后,作为一个例子,什么是可能的,我们的新目录,我们获得初步的整体流量测量深度为$135\,h^{-1}\mathrm{Mpc}$。我们发现一个稍微大于预期的大流量在高红移,虽然这可能是由沙普利超星系团的存在,它位于SDSS PV足迹之外。
