Exploring the CMB in Anisotropic Universes

Robbert W. Scholtens, Marcello Seri, Holger Waalkens +1

In recent years, there have been increasing challenges to the cosmological principle, based on new observations of e.g. supernovae and the cosmic bulk flow. As a result, the cosmol…

Fundamental Cosmic Anisotropy and its Ramifications II: Perturbations in Bianchi spacetimes, and fixed in the Newtonian gauge

Robbert W. Scholtens, Marcello Seri, Holger Waalkens +1

The standard cosmological model is challenged by an ever-growing collection of observations, which invites (and stimulates) inquiry into possible additions and/or alterations. One…

Fundamental Cosmic Anisotropy and its Ramifications I: Killing vector fields and constructing their metric

Robbert W. Scholtens, Marcello Seri, Holger Waalkens +1

On the largest scales, the universe appears to be almost homogeneous and isotropic, adhering to the cosmological principle. In contrast, on smaller scales inhomogeneities and aniso…

Cosmic Web Dynamics: Forces and Strains

Roi Kugel, Rien van de Weygaert

This study concerns an inventory of the gravitational force and tidal field induced by filaments, walls, cluster nodes and voids on Megaparsec scales and how they assemble and shap…

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…

CAVITY, Calar Alto Void Integral-field Treasury surveY and project extension

I. Pérez, S. Verley, L. Sánchez-Menguiano +58

We have learnt in the last decades that the majority of galaxies belong to high density regions interconnected in a sponge-like fashion. This large-scale structure is characterised…

The CAVITY project. The spatially resolved stellar population properties of galaxies in voids

Ana M. Conrado, Rosa M. González Delgado, Rubén García-Benito +28

The Universe is shaped as a web-like structure, formed by clusters, filaments, and walls that leave large volumes in between named voids. Galaxies in voids have been found to be of…

Star Formation and Dust in the Cosmic Web

Massimiliano Parente, Cinthia Ragone-Figueroa, Pablo López +8

The large-scale environment of the cosmic web is believed to impact galaxy evolution, but there is still no consensus regarding the mechanisms. We use a semi-analytic model (SAM) g…

Stellar mass-metallicity relation throughout the large-scale structure of the Universe: CAVITY mother sample

Jesús Domínguez-Gómez, Isabel Pérez, Tomás Ruiz-Lara +21

Void galaxies are essential for understanding the physical processes that drive galaxy evolution because they are less affected by external factors than galaxies in denser environm…

Averaging over cosmic structure: Cosmological backreaction and the gauge problem

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

The observation that accelerated cosmic expansion appears to start around the time that nonlinear cosmic structure is appearing seems like an extraordinary coincidence, unless the…

Galaxies in voids assemble their stars slowly

J. Domínguez-Gómez, I. Pérez, T. Ruiz-Lara +20

Galaxies in the Universe are distributed in a web-like structure characterised by different large-scale environments: dense clusters, elongated filaments, sheetlike walls, and unde…

Cosmic Web & Caustic Skeleton: non-linear Constrained Realizations -- 2D case studies

Job Feldbrugge, Rien van de Weygaert

The cosmic web consists of a complex configuration of voids, walls, filaments, and clusters, which formed under the gravitational collapse of Gaussian fluctuations. Understanding u…

Sociology and hierarchy of voids: A study of seven nearby CAVITY galaxy voids and their dynamical CosmicFlows-3 environment

H. M. Courtois, R. van de Weygaert, M. Aubert +14

Context. The present study addresses a key question related to our understanding of the relation between void galaxies and their environment: the relationship between luminous and…

Persistent topology of the reionization bubble network. II: Evolution & Classification

Willem Elbers, Rien van de Weygaert

We study the topology of the network of ionized and neutral regions that characterized the intergalactic medium during the Epoch of Reionization. Our analysis uses the formalism of…

Topological bias: How haloes trace structural patterns in the cosmic web

Raul Bermejo, Georg Wilding, Rien van de Weygaert +3

We trace the connectivity of the cosmic web as defined by haloes in the Planck-Millennium simulation using a persistence and Betti curve analysis. We normalise clustering up to the…

CO-CAVITY pilot survey: Molecular gas and star formation in void galaxies

J. Domínguez-Gómez, U. Lisenfeld, I. Pérez +9

We present the first molecular gas mass survey of void galaxies. We compare these new data together with data for the atomic gas mass and star formation rate () from the l…

Cosmic voids: a novel probe to shed light on our Universe

Alice Pisani, Elena Massara, David N. Spergel +26

Cosmic voids, the less dense patches of the Universe, are promising laboratories to extract cosmological information. Thanks to their unique low density character, voids are extrem…
