Caption: Figure 13.

Cosmicflows-1 peculiar radial velocities in a slice viewed in the SGX–SGY plane. Galaxies within the interval in depth −1500 km s −1 ⩽ SGZ ⩽ 1500 km s −1 are located at the points. Each arrow represents a measured line-of-sight peculiar velocity with respect to the rest frame of the CMB. Blue arrows indicate motions toward us and red arrows indicate motions away. The amplitude of a peculiar velocity is given by the length of an arrow, with the scale matching the coordinate labels.
