abstract
Peculiar velocity measurements are the only tool available in the low-redshift Universe for mapping the large-scale distribution of matter and can thus be used to constrain cosmology. Using redshifts from the 2M++ redshift compilation, we reconstruct the density of galaxies within 200 Mpc/h, allowing for the first time good sampling of important superclusters such as the Shapley Concentration. We compare the predicted peculiar velocities from 2M++ to Tully-Fisher and SNe peculiar velocities. We find a value of $\beta^* \equiv \Omega_{\rm{m}}^{0.55}/b^* = 0.431 \pm 0.021$, suggesting $\Omega_{\rm{m}}^{0.55}\sigma_{\rm{8,lin}} = 0.401 \pm 0.024$, in good agreement with other probes. The predicted peculiar velocity of the Local Group arising from the 2M++ volume alone is $540 \pm 40$ km/s, towards $l = 268 \pm 4, b= 38 \pm 6$, only $10^\circ$ out of alignment with the Cosmic Microwave Background dipole. To account for velocity contributions arising from sources outside the 2M++ volume, we fit simultaneously for $\beta^*$ and an external bulk flow in our analysis. We find that an external bulk flow is preferred at the 5.1$\sigma$ level, and the best fit has a velocity of $159\pm23$ km/s towards $l=304 \pm 11, b = 6 \pm 13$. Finally, the predicted bulk flow of a 50 Mpc/h Gaussian-weighted volume centred on the Local Group is $230 \pm 30$ km/s, in the direction $l=293\pm 8, b = 14 \pm 10$, in agreement with predictions from $\Lambda$CDM.

Natural Phantom Dark Energy from a $\mathbb{Z}_N$--Axion
A Z_N-symmetric multi-copy dark-QCD axion, broken by single-sector reheating, yields natural phantom-crossing dark energy with dark-pion DM in a viable parameter window.

Natural Phantom Crossing from Axion-WIMP Interactions
A Z_N-symmetric WIMP sector stores the initial axion value in its relic distribution and later generates a finite-density axion potential, producing an apparent late-time phantom crossing without ghosts.

Multipolar structure of the local expansion rate from incomplete sky data
CF4 data yield a 3.3σ excess dipole in the local expansion-rate fluctuation field at (l,b)=(290°,-4°)±5°, sourced mainly by z∈[0.03,0.05], with quadrupole/octupole consistent with ΛCDM and no multipole-vector alignments.

The MASSIVE SURVEY XXI: Local Variations in the Stellar Initial Mass Function of MASSIVE Early-Type Galaxies
In 37 massive ETGs, the IMF becomes less bottom-heavy with radius, with average α_IMF falling from 2.16 to 1.74 and IMF gradients dominating M/L variations over stellar population effects.

Dark Matter with a Drag at Low Redshift
iDCDM adds two parameters to LambdaCDM so that dark matter decay produces late-time interacting radiation, yielding a distinctive low-redshift suppression of structure growth while leaving BBN and primary CMB unchanged.

Updates on dipolar anisotropy in local measurements of the Hubble constant from Cosmicflows-4
Local Hubble constant anisotropy in Cosmicflows-4 data is primarily attributed to peculiar velocities and survey structure rather than cosmic-scale isotropy violation, with limited implications for the Hubble tension.
