A spherical harmonic approach to redshift distortion and a measurement of Formula from the 1.2-Jy IRAS Redshift Survey

We present a formalism for analysing redshift distortions based on a spherical harmonic expansion of the density field. We use a maximum likelihood estimator for the combination of density and bias parameters, $\Omega^0.6/b$. We test the method with $N$-body simulations and apply it to the 1.2 Jy IRAS redshift survey.
