Scientific paper

An inadvertant sign error entered into the calculation of the mean velocity of the Centaurus cluster with respect to the cosmic microwave background. Using a Virgo distance of 15.0 Mpc, a Cen/Virgo distance ratio of 1.91, and a mean velocity of 3300 km/s for Centaurus yield a mean peculiar velocity of ~650 km/s, not the value of 410 which was published in the paper.
