The characterization of the internal structure of the superclusters of galaxies (walls, filaments and knots where the clusters are located) is paramount for understanding the formation of the Large Scale Structure and for outlining the…

Galaxy morphologies and their relation with physical properties have been a relevant subject of study in the past. Most galaxy morphology catalogs have been labelled by human annotators or by machine learning models trained on human…
