We report the first detection at a median redshift $z = 2.49$ of large-scale matter flows around cosmic voids. Voids are identified within a tomographic map of large-scale Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) transmissions, built from the eBOSS…

The cosmological power spectrum of the coherent matter flow is measured exploiting an improved prescription for the apparent anisotropic clustering pattern in redshift space. New statistical analysis is presented to provide an optimal…
