Peculiar velocity analysis is currently a growing field due to the advent of new
data from various surveys. One statistic that can be derived from peculiar
velocity analyses is the bulk flow within the survey volume, which is closely
related to the cosmological model and so can be used to test theories. To measure
the bulk flow accurately, a sky coverage as complete as possible is needed
to disentangle the dipole from the monopole component of the velocity field. In
this work, we use the Fundamental Plane (FP) relation for early-type galaxies
to measure distances by combining the velocity dispersion measurements from
the 6dFGS, SDSS, and LAMOST spectroscopic surveys. Our sample has a sky
coverage of ?3.0? steradians out to redshift z ? 0.055. We use near-infrared
J-band photometry from the 2MASS Extended Source Catalog to make our
sample as homogeneous as possible. We fit the FP with a 3D Gaussian using
a maximum likelihood method. We measure peculiar velocities as the logarithmic
ratio of the distances inferred from observed redshifts and comoving
distances derived from the FP. Our final peculiar velocity sample consists of
15525 individual galaxies. We measure the bulk flow within the survey volume
directly from the log-distance ratio measurements using a maximum likelihood
method. We find bulk flow amplitudes of 236 ± 62, 248 ± 50, 296 ± 41, and
262 ± 41 km s?1 at scales 46, 56, 68, and 77 h?1 Mpc, respectively. These
amplitudes are consistent at 1? with the root-mean-square bulk motions expected
in a standard ?CDM cosmology. The direction of the bulk flow we
measure is consistent with both previous measurements and the direction of
the cosmic microwave background (CMB) dipole motion.
