Caustic Skeleton and the Local Cosmic Web: the Coma Cluster node and the Pisces-Perseus ridge

Amelie Read, Job Feldbrugge, Celine Boehm +2

We apply caustic skeleton theory to the Manticore-Local simulations, which are Bayesian constrained reconstructions of the Local Universe from the 2M++ galaxy catalogue, and extrac…

Galaxy Populations in the IllustrisTNG Caustic Skeleton

Benjamin Hertzsch, Job Feldbrugge, Rien van de Weygaert

The caustic skeleton is a parameter-free and mathematically rigorous formalism for tracing the hierarchical formation history of the multiscale cosmic web from the singularities in…

A New Recipe for Caustic Pancakes: On the Reality of Walls in the Cosmic Web

Benjamin Hertzsch, Job Feldbrugge, Maé Rodriguez +1

The caustic skeleton model is a mathematically rigorous framework for studying the formation history of the emerging cosmic web from the caustics in the underlying dark matter flow…

Euclid preparation. Establishing the quality of the 2D reconstruction of the filaments of the cosmic web with DisPerSE using Euclid photometric redshifts

Euclid Collaboration, N. Malavasi, F. Sarron +313

Cosmic filaments are prominent structures of the matter distribution of the Universe. Modern detection algorithms are an efficient way to identify filaments in large-scale observat…

Spinning masters: on the impact of tidal forces and protohalo size on early spin evolution

Pablo López, Rien van de Weygaert, Manuel Merchán

In this work, we explore how the size and surrounding tidal fields of dark matter protohalos at high redshift influence their angular momentum (AM) evolution. While tidal torque th…

Cosmic averaging over multiscaled structure: on foliations, gauges and backreaction

Dave B. H. Verweg, Bernard J. T. Jones, Rien van de Weygaert

The observation that accelerated cosmic expansion is dominant since the Mega-parsec cosmic structure became nonlinear seems like an extraordinary coincidence, unless the accelerati…
