We investigate the efficacy of using the cosmic web nodes identified by the DisPerSE topological filament finder to systematically identify galaxy groups in the infall regions around massive clusters. The large random motions and infall velocities of... Read More about The localization of galaxy groups in close proximity to galaxy clusters using cosmic web nodes.

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 527(1), Article stad3208. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad3208

Using cosmological simulations of galaxy cluster regions from THE THREE HUNDRED project we study the nature of gas in filaments feeding massive clusters. By stacking the diffuse material of filaments throughout the cluster sample, we measure average...

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 524(2), 2148–2160. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad1949

Upcoming wide-field spectroscopic surveys will observe galaxies in a range of cosmic web environments in and around galaxy clusters. In this paper, we test and quantify how successfully we will be able to identify the environment of individual galaxi...
