Voids and the Cosmic Web: cosmic depression & spatial complexity
Voids form a prominent aspect of the Megaparsec distribution of galaxies and matter. Not only do they represent a key constituent of the Cosmic Web, they also are one of the cleanest probes and measures of global cosmological parameters. The shape and evolution of voids are highly sensitive to the nature of dark energy, while their substructure and galaxy population provides a direct key to the...
متن کاملUniversal density profile for cosmic voids.
We present a simple empirical function for the average density profile of cosmic voids, identified via the watershed technique in ΛCDM N-body simulations. This function is universal across void size and redshift, accurately describing a large radial range of scales around void centers with only two free parameters. In analogy to halo density profiles, these parameters describe the scale radius ...
متن کاملConstraining cosmic microwave background consistent primordial voids with cluster evolution
Using cosmological simulations, we make predictions for the distribution of clusters in a plausible non-Gaussian model where primordial voids nucleated during inflation act together with scale-invariant adiabatic Gaussian fluctuations as seeds for the formation of large-scale structure. The parameters of the void network are constrained by the cosmic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations and ...
متن کاملAlignment of Voids in the Cosmic Web
We investigate the shapes and mutual alignment of voids in the large scale matter distribution of a ΛCDM cosmology simulation. The voids are identified using the novel WVF void finder technique. The identified voids are quite nonspherical and slightly prolate, with axis ratios in the order of c : b : a ≈ 0.5 : 0.7 : 1. Their orientations are strongly correlated with significant alignments spann...
متن کاملGeometry and scaling of cosmic voids
Context. Cosmic voids are observed in the distribution of galaxies and, to some extent, in the dark matter distribution. If these distributions have fractal geometry, it must be reflected in the geometry of voids; in particular, we expect scaling sizes of voids. However, this scaling is not well demonstrated in galaxy surveys yet. Aims. Our objective is to understand the geometry of cosmic void...
