Galaxy clusters grow by accreting galaxies from the field and along filaments of the cosmic web. As galaxies are accreted they are affected by their local environment before they enter (pre-processing), and traverse the cluster potential. Observation...

Cosmic filaments in galaxy cluster outskirts: quantifying finding filaments in redshift space (2021)
Journal Article
Kuchner, U., Aragón-Salamanca, A., Rost, A., Pearce, F. R., Gray, M. E., Cui, W., …Yepes, G. (2021). Cosmic filaments in galaxy cluster outskirts: quantifying finding filaments in redshift space. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 503(2), 2065-2076. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab567

Inferring line-of-sight distances from redshifts in and around galaxy clusters is complicated by peculiar velocities, a phenomenon known as the "Fingers of God" (FoG). This presents a significant challenge for finding filaments in large observational... Read More about Cosmic filaments in galaxy cluster outskirts: quantifying finding filaments in redshift space.
