Star formation and morphological trends in the Antlia cluster: Probing environmental influence out to 5R200

Ciria Lima-Dias, Antonela Monachesi, Gissel P. Montaguth +48

Galaxy evolution in dense environments such as clusters is strongly affected by environmental processes that can alter both morphology and star formation activity. We investigate t…

Caught in the web: galaxy mergers along cosmic filaments

Carolina Dulcien, Yara L. Jaffe, Jacob P. Crossett +31

Galaxy clusters grow through the accretion of galaxies from groups, filaments, and other clusters. During this process, galaxies may undergo pre-processing in lower-density environ…

The effect of cosmic web filaments on galaxy evolution

Callum J. O'Kane, Ulrike Kuchner, Meghan E. Gray +1

The large-scale structure around the Fornax-Eridanus Complex

Maria Angela Raj, Petra Awad, Reynier F. Peletier +7

Our objectives are to map the filamentary network around the Fornax-Eridanus Complex and probe the influence of the local environment on galaxy morphology. We employ the novel mach…

Reconsidering the dynamical states of galaxy clusters using PCA and UMAP

Roan Haggar, Federico De Luca, Marco De Petris +10

Numerous metrics exist to quantify the dynamical state of galaxy clusters, both observationally and within simulations. Many of these correlate strongly with one another, but it is…

The Three Hundred project: Estimating the dependence of gas filaments on the mass of galaxy clusters

Sara Santoni, Marco De Petris, Gustavo Yepes +7

Galaxy clusters are located in the densest areas of the universe and are intricately connected to larger structures through the filamentary network of the Cosmic Web. In this scena…

The three hundred project: thermodynamical properties, shocks and gas dynamics in simulated galaxy cluster filaments and their surroundings

Agustín M. Rost, Sebastián E. Nuza, Federico Stasyszyn +8

Using cosmological simulations of galaxy cluster regions from The Three Hundred project we study the nature of gas in filaments feeding massive clusters. By stacking the diffuse ma…
