We present measurements of the number density of voids in the dark matter distribution from a series of N-body simulations of a \Lambda CDM cosmology. We define voids as spherical regions of \rho_v = 0.2\rho_m around density minima in order…
We present a cosmic void catalog using the large-scale structure galaxy catalog from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This galaxy catalog is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 12 and is the final…
Large-scale structure of Universe includes galaxy clusters connected by filaments. Voids occupy the rest of cosmic volume. The search of any dependencities in filament structure can give answer to more general questions about origin of…
We have examined the correlations between the large-scale environment of galaxies and their physical properties, using a sample of 28,354 nearby galaxies drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and the large-scale tidal field reconstructed…
Using high-resolution simulations within the Cold and Warm Dark Matter models we study the evolution of small scale structure in the Local Volume, a sphere of 8 Mpc radius around the Local Group. We compare the observed spectrum of…
We present a study of the environment of barred galaxies using galaxies drawn from the SDSS. We use several different statistics to quantify the environment: the projected two-point cross-correlation function, the background-subtracted…
Galaxies in the most underdense regions of the Universe, known as cosmic voids, exhibit astrophysical properties that suggest a distinct evolutionary path compared to galaxies in denser environments. Numerical simulations indicate that the…
We investigate the basic properties of voids from high resolution, cosmological N-body simulations of {\Lambda}-dominated cold dark matter ({\Lambda}CDM) models, in order to compare with the analytical model of Sheth and van de Weygaert…
We analyze quasi-2-dimensional slices of the SDSS EDR. Gaussian smoothing with weighting by the inverse of the selection function provides 2D density fields across the full survey depth. Superclusters (SC) are characterized by a percolation…
We measure the environmental dependence, where environment is defined by the distance to the third nearest neighbor, of multiple galaxy properties inside the Environmental COntext (ECO) catalog. We focus primarily on void galaxies, which we…
We compute the galaxy-galaxy correlation function of low-luminosity SDSS-DR7 galaxies $(-20 < M_{\rm r} - 5\log_{10}(h) < -18)$ inside cosmic voids identified in a volume limited sample of galaxies at $z=0.085$. To identify voids, we use…
Using the VOID FINDER algorithm we have compiled a catalogue of voids in the IRAS 1.2-Jy sample. The positions of the voids correspond well to underdense regions seen in the IRAS smoothed density map. However, since in our analysis no…
Cosmic voids, the large underdense regions of our Universe, have emerged over the past decade as powerful cosmological laboratories: their simple dynamics, sensitivity to local gravitational effects and cosmic expansion, and ability to span…
We present a simple empirical function for the average density profile of cosmic voids, identified via the watershed technique in $\Lambda$CDM N-body simulations. This function is universal across void size and redshift, accurately…
The Northern Local Void is a huge underdense region of the nearby Universe situated between the Hercules, Coma and Local Superclusters. We present an investigation of the galaxy distribution in the Northern Local Void using void statistics.…
We apply the adhesion approximation to study the formation and evolution of voids in the Universe. Our simulations -- carried out using 128$^3$ particles in a cubical box with side 128 Mpc -- indicate that the void spectrum evolves with…
Voids are dominant features of the cosmic web. We revisit the cosmological information content of voids and connect void properties with the parameters of the background universe. We combine analytical results with a suite of large n-body…
Context: Several observations of the local Universe (LU) point towards the existence of very prominent structures. The presence of massive galaxy clusters and local super clusters on the one hand, but also large local voids and…
Galaxies are not uniformly distributed in space. On large scales the Universe displays coherent structure, with galaxies residing in groups and clusters on scales of ~1-3 Mpc/h, which lie at the intersections of long filaments of galaxies…
