A 2D visual comparison of the filaments identified by DisPerSE from the DTFE density field (left) and the MCPM density field (right) in the same 10 Mpc thick slices in TNG100 at z = 0. In both panels, the underlying DM overdensity along the line of sight is represented by the blue–white color bar, and gray circles represent galaxies. The individual filament segments from DTFE and MCPM are curves colored by the average persistence value of a segment (red is less persistent, yellow is more persistent). The MCPM density field identifies the filamentary structure with significantly higher fidelity, including the less prominent filaments that the DTFE density field method misses. -- The Astronomical Journal

Filaments Of The Slime Mold Cosmic Web and How They Affect Galaxy Evolution

by Keith CowingSeptember 17, 2024September 17, 2024

We present a novel approach for identifying cosmic web filaments within the DisPerSE structure identification framework, using cosmic density field estimates from the Monte Carlo Physarum Machine (MCPM), inspired by […]
