The spatial distribution of galaxies in the Local Supercluster, as described at this meeting, together with the measured anisotropy in the microwave background suggest that there exist significant deviations from a uniform Hubble flow in the velocity field of galaxies within a few thousand km/s. In principle, it is not too hard to improve on the uniform flow model: one simply needs to examine the spatial distribution of the radial velocity residuals for many nearby galaxies. In practice, the problem is non-trivial because of the coupling of velocity and distance, and the lack of a distance indicator of high precision, and the “thermal” noise in the velocity field. Our recent efforts in this direction are described in more detail in a paper in a current Astrophysical Journal (Aaronson et al. 1982a).
