I will give a brief overview of the 4MOST Hemisphere Survey (4HS), with particular emphasis on our cosmology science goals of mapping mass and motion on ~Gpc scales, and highlighting several key aspects of the 4HS experimental design relative to past and current surveys.

In this talk I will give an overview of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and their first cosmological results from the first-year dataset. I will briefly introduce the DESI peculiar velocity program, aiming the measurement of 180k distances with Tully-Fisher and Fundamental Plane relations. I will also briefly introduce the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and their supernovae...

4MOST is a next-generation survey that will start operating in 2025 and will carry out a five-year survey program. 4MOST consists of 18 individual surveys that will be operationally carried out as a single survey. Among those 18 surveys, there are specific peculiar velocity subsurveys that will significantly extend currently available catalogues of peculiar velocities. To optimise the 4MOST...

The Tully-Fisher relation (TFR) is an empirical correlation between the instrinsic luminosity of a spiral galaxy and its asymptotic rotational velocity. Here we present measurements of the TFR from a secondary target program at the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, a robotic fiber-fed spectrograph located at Kitt Peak National Observatory. By positioning fibers on the galaxies' nuclei and...
