Description

Measurements of the luminosity distances of type Ia supernovae can be used to reconstruct the local radial velocity field. I will introduce a method to extract the anisotropy spectrum from supernova data, discuss its usefulness as a cosmological probe, present the current state of affairs and give an outlook on the potential of upcoming surveys.
