Abstract

The IRAS dipole is calculated for a new complete and reliable 60µm galaxy catalogue compiled from the IRAS Point Source, Small Scale Structure, and Large Galaxy Catalogs. The catalogue covers 81.8 % of the sky and includes 17,710 sources. The dipole direction and amplitude agree well with those of the earlier study by Yahil et al (1986). If IRAS galaxies trace the overall matter distribution, Ω0∼1.
