Dark matter haloes in cosmological filaments and walls have their spin vector aligned (in average) with their host structure. While haloes in walls are aligned with the plane of the wall independently of their mass, haloes in filaments…

We investigate the alignment of the spin of dark matter halos relative (i) to the surrounding large-scale filamentary structure, and (ii) to the tidal tensor eigenvectors using the Horizon 4pi dark matter simulation which resolves over 43…

Clusters, filaments, sheets and voids are the building blocks of the cosmic web. In this study, we present and compare two distinct algorithms for finding cosmic filaments and sheets, a task which is far less well established than the…

The MMF technique is used to segment the cosmic web as seen in a cosmological N-body simulation into wall-like and filament-like structures. We find that the spins and shapes of dark matter haloes are significantly correlated with each…

We investigate the evolution of dark matter halo spin alignments with respect to cosmic filaments, exploring how halo mass, proximity to filaments, and major mergers influence their orientation over time. We perform a suite of dark…

We study how halo intrinsic dynamical properties are linked to their formation processes for halos in two mass ranges, $10^{12}-10^{12.5}h^{-1}{\rm M_\odot}$ and $\ge 10^{13}h^{-1}{\rm M_\odot}$, and how both are correlated with the large…

We use N-body simulations to investigate the evolution of the orientation and magnitude of dark matter halo angular momentum within the large scale structure since z=3. We look at the evolution of the alignment of halo spins with filaments…

The halo spin flip refers to the phenomenon that the spin axes of dark matter halos with masses above a certain threshold tend to be preferentially aligned perpendicular to the hosting large-scale filaments, while low-mass halos tend to…

Dark-matter haloes do not form in isolation but within the surrounding cosmic web. By the time a halo begins to collapse, its larger-scale environment has typically collapsed along two axes, forming filaments that channel anisotropic infall…

State-of-the-art hydrodynamical simulations show that gas inflow through the virial sphere of dark matter halos is focused (i.e. has a preferred inflow direction), consistent (i.e. its orientation is steady in time) and amplified (i.e. the…
