Ratio of completeness-corrected found and expected number of galaxies in our VLT/VIMOS survey (considering the full FoV) at the redshift of the BLAs, as a function of the size of the velocity window used to define the depth of the cosmic volume subtended by the VLT/VIMOS FoV, from 200 km s⁻¹ to 8200 km s⁻¹. Each line is colored by the redshift of the BLA, as indicated in the top-right part of the panel. Although 8000 km⁻¹ is considerably higher than the Δv expected for a large-scale galaxy filament, we included large velocity windows to show how the local excess of galaxies converges toward the cosmic average in a large enough volume.
