Cosmic Voids: structure, dynamics and galaxies

van de Weygaert, Rien, Platen, Erwin

Understand

In this review we discuss several aspects of Cosmic Voids.

  • Voids are a major component of the large scale distribution of matter and galaxies in the Universe.
  • They are of instrumental importance for understanding the emergence of the Cosmic Web.
  • Their relatively simple shape and structure makes them into useful tools for extracting the value of a variety cosmic parameters, possibly including even that of the influence of dark energy.
