Abstract
We have calculated the dipole moment of a new flux-limited sample of 10 554 galaxies, selected by colour, from the IRAS Point Source Catalog. We find that the direction of the dipole lies within 8° of the Microwave Background Radiation dipole, depending on the corrections for confusion and contamination. We examine the contribution of the largest clusters and voids to the vector dipole.Keywords
