Abstract
The mass density field as extracted from peculiar velocities in our cosmological neighborhood is mapped back in time to the CMB in two ways. First, the density power spectrum (

) is translated into a temperature angular power spectrum of sub-degree resolution (

) and compared to observations. Second, the local density field is translated into a temperature map in a patch on the last-scattering surface of a distant observer. A likelihood analysis of the Mark III peculiar velocity data have constrained the range of parameters for

This correlation suggests the possibility of an inverse reconstruction of the underlying density field from CMB data with interesting theoretical implications.Comment: 16 pages, 6 figures.
