Cosmic flows and the underlying density field from the Wiener filter analysis for the slice shown in the previous two figures. Colors indicate relative densities on the plane at SGY = 800 km s −1. The figure highlights the importance of the overdense region between the Centaurus and Hydra clusters to local dynamics. There is a major flow through the Antlia Cluster to Centaurus and another flow along the filament from Virgo to Centaurus.
