Evolution of the cosmic web
- M. Cautun, R. Weygaert, +5 authors Groningen
- Physics
- 30 January 2014
The cosmic web is the largest scale manifestation of the anisotropic gravitational collapse of matter. It represents the transitional stage between linear and non-linear structures and contains… Expand
The total satellite population of the Milky Way.
- Oliver Newton, M. Cautun, +4 authors Uk
- Physics
- 14 August 2017
The total number and luminosity function of the population of dwarf galaxies of the Milky Way (MW) provide important constraints on the nature of the dark matter and on the astrophysics of galaxy… Expand
Tracing the cosmic web
- N. Libeskind, R. Weygaert, +27 authors G. Yepes
- Physics
- 8 May 2017
The cosmic web is one of the most striking features of the distribution of galaxies and dark matter on the largest scales in the Universe. It is composed of dense regions packed full of galaxies,… Expand
Milky Way mass constraints from the Galactic satellite gap
We use the distribution of maximum circular velocities, Vmax, of satellites in the Milky Way (MW) to constrain the virial mass, M200, of the Galactic halo under an assumed prior of a Λ cold dark… Expand
Planes of satellite galaxies: when exceptions are the rule
The detection of planar structures within the satellite systems of both the Milky Way (MW) and Andromeda (M31) has been reported as being in stark contradiction to the predictions of the standard… Expand
NEXUS: Tracing the cosmic web connection
- M. Cautun, R. Weygaert, B. Jones
- Physics
- 10 September 2012
We introduce the NEXUS algorithm for the identification of cosmic web environments: clusters, filaments, walls and voids. This is a multiscale and automatic morphological analysis tool that… Expand
The Copernicus Complexio: a high-resolution view of the small-scale Universe
- Wojciech A. Hellwing, C. Frenk, +5 authors M. Cytowski
- Physics
- 24 May 2015
We introduce Copernicus Complexio (COCO), a high-resolution cosmological N-body simulation of structure formation in the ΛCDM model. COCO follows an approximately spherical region of radius ∼17.4 h−1… Expand
The Cosmic Ballet: spin and shape alignments of haloes in the cosmic web
We investigate the alignment of haloes with the filaments of the cosmic web using an un-precedently large sample of dark matter haloes taken from the P-Millennium Lambda cold dark matter cosmological… Expand
The mass of the Milky Way from satellite dynamics
- T. Callingham, M. Cautun, +6 authors R. Pakmor
- Physics
- 30 August 2018
We present and apply a method to infer the mass of the Milky Way (MW) by comparing the dynamics
of MW satellites to those of model satellites in the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamics simulations. A … Expand
Subhalo statistics of galactic haloes: beyond the resolution limit
- M. Cautun, Wojciech A. Hellwing, +7 authors Groningen
- Physics
- 29 May 2014
We study the substructure population of Milky Way (MW)-mass haloes in the Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmology using a novel procedure to extrapolate subhalo number statistics beyond the resolution… Expand
