Description

Book Synopsis
On megaparsec scales, matter and galaxies have aggregated into a complex network of interconnected filaments, wall-like structures and compact clusters surrounded by large near-empty void regions. Dubbed the 'Cosmic Web', theoretical and observational studies have led to its recognition as a key aspect of structure in the Universe, representing a universal phase in the gravitationally driven emergence and evolution of cosmic structure. IAU Symposium 308 marked the centenary of the birth of the Russian physicist and cosmologist Yakov B. Zeldovich (1914â87), who was instrumental in the development of this view of structure formation. His seminal work paved the way towards an understanding of the complex web-like structure observed in our Universe. This volume synthesizes the insights obtained from many different observational and theoretical studies, and helps prepare researchers and students working in this vibrant field for the many upcoming surveys.

Table of Contents
1. Cosmology of Yakov Zeldovich: historical and scientific perspectives; 2. Zeldovich legacy: dynamics and evolution of the Cosmic Web; 3. Surveys and observations of large scale structure; 4. Cosmic Web morphology and identification, reconstruction and clustering; 5. Megaparsec velocity flows; 6. The gaseous Cosmic Web; 7. Galaxy formation and evolution in the Cosmic Web; 8. Cosmic voids; 9. Cosmology; 10. Miscellaneous.
