Evidence for a sign change of the ISW effect in the very recent universe: hot voids and cold overdensities at $z<0.03$
We find that CMB photons passing through local voids ($z<0.03$) are hotter than expected at the $2.7-3.6\sigma$ level. Combined with earlier findings showing a $>5\sigma$ cooling of CMB photons in galactic filaments in the same redshift range, we now have possible evidence for a negative Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect in the very recent universe. In addition to having opposite sign, the observed amplitude is an order of magnitude larger than the predicted Rees-Sciama and ISW effects for the nearby universe. An altered growth of gravitational potentials at very low redshift, as predicted by some dark energy and modified gravity models, could give rise to the observed sign change. We discuss the results in light of the latest Data Release 2 results of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) showing evidence for dynamical dark energy. When removing the CMB quadrupole, we find the temperatures measured in voids to a large degree uncorrelated with the temperature measured in galaxies and the observed mean difference of $41\mu$K between void and galaxy temperatures is about $6.5\sigma$ larger than found in simulations.
