Cosmic Web: Origin and Observables

Abstract

Simple analytic arguments are used to understand the predominantly filamentary web in the large-scale distribution of galaxies. Numerical simulations of superclusters are performed to assess the feasibility of directly mapping the intracluster webbing, in particular with weak gravitational lensing using Wide Field Cameras.
