Galaxies are not distributed randomly in the cosmic web but are instead arranged in filaments and sheets surrounding cosmic voids. Observationally there is still no convincing evidence of a link between the properties of galaxies and their…
We introduce the new cosmological simulation project cosmosTNG, a first-of-its-kind suite of constrained galaxy formation simulations for the universe at Cosmic Noon ($z\sim 2$). cosmosTNG simulates a $0.2$ deg$^2$ patch of the COSMOS field…
The formation of galaxies is significantly influenced by galactic winds, possibly driven by cosmic rays due to their long cooling times and better coupling to plasma compared to radiation. In this study, we compare the radio observations of…
In the cosmic web, filaments play a crucial role in connecting walls to clusters and also act as an important stage for galaxy formation and evolution. Recent observational studies claim that filaments have spin. In this study, we examined…
