Scientific paper

We address recently reported anomalously large bulk flows on scales of 100 Mpc/h and beyond. These coherent motions of galaxies challenge the standard LCDM concordance model as well as a large class of competitive models of dark energy and modified gravity. If confirmed, they may support alternative models that include extra couplings inducing enhanced peculiar velocities on large scales. A complementary probe of the evolution of large-scale perturbations is the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect; we explore the connection between this observable and the bulk flow. For illustration, we consider a coupling between dark energy and dark matter as well as a specific cosmological model, growing neutrino quintessence.
