In search for the Local Universe dynamical homogeneity scale with CF4++ peculiar velocities H. Courtois, J. Mould, A.M. Hollinger, A. Dupuy, C.P. Zhang, 2025 A&A , arxiv-502.01308

Download hereafter an example code to obtain peculiar velocities and associated errors from coordinates using the npz file containing altogether the velocity, density and associated RMS over 10,000 HMC steps.

Watersheds of the Local Universe : Laniakea and five newcomers in the neighborhood Dupuy and Courtois 2023 A&A

Download hereafter the Basins otersheds envelops as basins of attraction and Basins of repulsion in FITS format. Grids are of size 1000 Mpc/h and 128^3 voxels, and are filled with integers from 0 to n where n is the number of basins detected. Each integer labels a single basin (in the same order as listed in Table A.1 in Dupuy et al. (2023), ignoring blank lines), and the value of all voxels part of a given basin is set to that same integer. Voxels set to 0 are not part of any basin. For example, in the case of basins of attraction in the CF4 galaxy velocity field: voxels filled with 1 are part of Laniakea, 2 of Apus, 3 of Hercules, etc.
