Linking Cluster Formation to Large Scale Structure

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We use two high resolution CDM simulations to show that (i) when clusters of galaxies form the infall pattern of matter is not random but shows clear features which are correlated in time; (ii) in addition, the infall patterns are correlated with the cluster's surrounding Large Scale Structure; (iii) Large Scale Structure shows a mix of both filaments and sheets; (iv) the amount of mass in filaments is slightly larger for a low Ω\Omega model.
