CACR Seminar: “Analysis and Visualization of the Cosmic Web”

The distribution of matter on large scales can be described as an interconnected network of clusters, filaments and walls where the filaments are located at the intersection of walls and clusters are the  nodes between filaments. I will present a new technique that allows the  identification and characterization of voids, walls, filaments and  clusters based on the topology of the density field traced by the critical points delineated by the watershed transform. I will also show recent experiments we have been doing combining interactive visualizations of physical processes with sound.
