Cosmic filament
Cosmic filament is a large-scale structure of the universe consisting of elongated concentrations of galaxies and matter. It forms part of the interconnected network known as the cosmic web.
Cosmic filaments are discussed in cosmology, large-scale structure studies, and astrophysics.
Status
Cosmic filaments are identified through galaxy surveys and cosmological simulations. Their properties and role in channeling matter into galaxy clusters are active areas of research.
