7 Outline 1 Motivation 2 Methodology and data Peculiar velocities from luminosity variations MLE and quadratic approximation 3 Application to SDSS 4 Conclusions
8 Peculiar velocities from LF variations Basic concepts Peculiar motion introduces systematic variations in the observed luminosity distribution of galaxies (Nusser et al. 2011; Tammann et al. 1979) Linear theory (c = 1): M = M obs + 5 log 10 D L (z obs ) D L (z) z obs z 1 + z obs = V(t, r) Φ(t, r) ISW V(t, r) Maximize probability of observing galaxies given their magnitudes and redshifts: φ(m i ) log P tot = log P i (M i z i, V i ) = bi, where i i φ(m)dm a i a/b = max / min [ M min/max, m +/ DM(z) K(z obs ) + Q(z obs ) ] Velocity models: V(t, r) V ({ξ i }), V(t, r) V(β = f /b)
9 Peculiar velocities from LF variations Basic concepts V i = 0 φ (M) M
10 Peculiar velocities from LF variations Basic concepts V i 0 φ (M) M
11 Peculiar velocities from LF variations Basic concepts Method independent of galaxy bias and traditional distance indicators For N 1, P tot is well approximated by a Gaussian: log P tot (d x) 1 2 (x x 0) T Σ 1 (x x 0 ) + const, where x T = ( {q j }, {ξ k } ) Build quadratic estimator to determine P tot : log P i log P i log P i x=x0 + x α α x α + x=x0 α,β 2 log P i x α x β x α x β x=x0 Tedious and may result in complex expressions, e.g. for a Schechter LF: φ(m) = 0.4 log (10)φ (1+α )(M M) exp ( (M M) )

21 Outline 1 Motivation 2 Methodology and data 3 Application to SDSS 4 Conclusions
22 Conclusions ML estimators extracting the large-scale velocity field through spatial modulations in the observed LF of galaxies offer a powerful and complementary alternative to currently used methods New growth measurements are in agreement with the results from Planck Luminosity-based constraints on the growth rate at z 0.1 are both compatible and consistent with those coming from RSD analyses of similar datasets Consistency is striking in view of the different possible systematic biases associated with the different methods Luminosity-based techniques are less sensitive to nonlinear corrections than the two-point statistics which enter the analysis of RSDs
