Abstract
The geodesic motion of a massive test particle in a [Formula: see text] massless scalar field universe is investigated. The time evolution of the peculiar velocity is connected to the values of the cosmological parameters, and it is quantified how the spacetime shearing effects affect the deviations from the asymptotic value of comoving matter flow at late epochs. On the other hand, it is shown that the energy scale of the cosmic fluid does not affect the evolution of the peculiar velocity. The existence of a turning point in the motion of the astronomical object is identified. The potential astrophysical relevance of this study in the modeling of cosmic filaments and Large Quasar Groups is briefly discussed.
