Scientific paper

We perform a detailed comparison of the IRAS PSCz and 1.2-Jy spherical harmonic coefficients of the predicted velocity fields in redshift space. The monopole terms predicted from the two surveys show some differences. Faint galaxies are responsible for this mismatch that disappears when extracting a PSCz subsample of galaxies with fluxes larger than 1.2 Jy. The analysis of PSCz dipole components confirms the same inconsistencies found by Davis, Nusser and Willick (1996) between the IRAS 1.2-Jy gravity field and MARKIII peculiar velocities. Shot-noise, which is greatly reduced in our PSCz gravity field, cannot be responsible for the observed mismatch.
