Multipole analysis of redshift-space distortions around cosmic voids
  We perform a comprehensive redshift-space distortion analysis based on cosmic
voids in the large-scale distribution of galaxies observed with the Sloan
Digital Sky Survey. To this end, we measure multipoles of the void-galaxy
cross-correlation function and compare them with standard model predictions in
cosmology. Merely considering linear-order theory allows us to accurately
describe the data on the entire available range of scales and to probe
void-centric distances down to about $2h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$. Common systematics,
such as the Fingers-of-God effect, scale-dependent galaxy bias, and nonlinear
clustering do not seem to play a significant role in our analysis. We constrain
the growth rate of structure via the redshift-space distortion parameter
$\beta$ at two median redshifts, $\beta(\bar{z}=0.32)=0.599^{+0.134}_{-0.124}$
and $\beta(\bar{z}=0.54)=0.457^{+0.056}_{-0.054}$, with a precision that is
competitive with state-of-the-art galaxy-clustering results. While the
high-redshift constraint perfectly agrees with model expectations, we observe a
mild $2\sigma$ deviation at $\bar{z}=0.32$, which increases to $3\sigma$ when
the data is restricted to the lowest available redshift range of $0.15<z<0.33$.
