   Not "overdense"!   
      
   Actually PH, like LC, appears to have misread the paper, or...   
   Here is a quotation from the conclusions:   
      
   "The resolution of this instability creates the same anomalous   
   accelerations as the cosmological constant, without assuming it. The   
   model makes testable predictions. If correct, it would imply that we   
   live within a large region of approximate uniform under-density that is   
   expanding outward from us at an accelerated rate relative to the SM. The   
   idea that the Milky Way lies near the center of a large region of   
   under-density has already been proposed and studied in the physics   
   literature. (See [4] and references therein.)"
