Tracing the cosmic web

Noam I Libeskind, Rien van de Weygaert, Marius Cautun +27

The cosmic web is one of the most striking features of the distribution of galaxies and dark matter on the largest scales in the Universe. It is composed of dense regions packed fu…

The Void Galaxy Survey: Optical Properties and H I Morphology and Kinematics

K. Kreckel, E. Platen, M. A. Aragón-Calvo +4

We have carefully selected a sample of 60 galaxies that reside in the deepest underdensities of geometrically identified voids within the SDSS. HI imaging of 55 galaxies with the W…

Structural Analysis of the SDSS Cosmic Web I.Nonlinear Density Field Reconstructions

Erwin Platen, Rien van de Weygaert, Bernard J. T. Jones +2

We investigate the ability of three reconstruction techniques to analyze and investigate weblike features and geometries in a discrete distribution of objects. The three methods ar…

The Void Galaxy Survey

R. van de Weygaert, K. Kreckel, E. Platen +9

The Void Galaxy Survey (VGS) is a multi-wavelength program to study 60 void galaxies. Each has been selected from the deepest interior regions of identified voids in the SDSS…

Only the Lonely: H I Imaging of Void Galaxies

K. Kreckel, E. Platen, M. A. Aragón-Calvo +6

Void galaxies, residing within the deepest underdensities of the Cosmic Web, present an ideal population for the study of galaxy formation and evolution in an environment undisturb…

Alpha Shape Topology of the Cosmic Web

Rien van de Weygaert, Gert Vegter, Erwin Platen +2

We study the topology of the Megaparsec Cosmic Web on the basis of the Alpha Shapes of the galaxy distribution. The simplicial complexes of the alpha shapes are used to determine t…
