Next-generation wide-field spectroscopic surveys will observe the infall regions around large numbers of galaxy clusters with high sampling rates for the first time. Here we assess the feasibility of extracting the large-scale cosmic web around clust...

Astrophysical Journal, 931(1), Article 34. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/ac66ea

Being able to distinguish between galaxies that have recently undergone major-merger events, or are experiencing intense star formation, is crucial for making progress in our understanding of the formation and evolution of galaxies. As such, we have...

The Value of ArtScience: improving the balance in collaboration practices between artists and scientists can impact knowledge production (2022)
Journal Article
Kuchner, U. (2022). The Value of ArtScience: improving the balance in collaboration practices between artists and scientists can impact knowledge production. Writing Visual Culture, 10.0, 23-42

In a time in which scientific knowledge is in danger of being discredited, we return to the responsibility of art and science. There is widespread optimism that collaborations between artists and scientists can develop solutions to complex problems,...

Forecasts for galaxy morphology with the Euclid Survey using deep generative models. Astronomy and Astrophysics, 657, Article A90. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202141393

We present a machine learning framework to simulate realistic galaxies for the Euclid Survey, producing more complex and realistic galaxies than the analytical simulations currently used in Euclid. The proposed method combines a control on galaxy sha... Read More about Euclid preparation: XIII. Forecasts for galaxy morphology with the Euclid Survey using deep generative models.

An inventory of galaxies in cosmic filaments feeding galaxy clusters: galaxy groups, backsplash galaxies, and pristine galaxies (2021)
Journal Article
Kuchner, U., Haggar, R., Aragón-Salamanca, A., Pearce, F. R., Gray, M. E., Rost, A., …Yepes, G. (2022). An inventory of galaxies in cosmic filaments feeding galaxy clusters: galaxy groups, backsplash galaxies, and pristine galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 510(1), 581-592. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab3419

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

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.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 502(1), 714-727. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa3792

Galaxy cluster outskirts are described by complex velocity fields induced by diffuse material collapsing towards filaments, gas, and galaxies falling into clusters, and gas shock processes triggered by substructures. A simple scenario that describes... Read More about The threehundred: the structure and properties of cosmic filaments in the outskirts of galaxy clusters.
