How filaments of galaxies are woven into the cosmic web
Article Abstract:
The filamentary distribution of galaxies connecting galactic clusters are formed by the dynamic evolution of correlation bridges between the galaxies. Clusters that are at a distance less than the mean cluster separation distance have strong correlation bridges. Numerical simulations show that the web of filaments that describes the final state of the galaxies occurs even in the initial density fluctuations. The pattern of the cosmic web is dependent on the rare density peaks in the initial fluctuations. Superclusters of galaxies are cluster-cluster bridges linked by the filaments.

Deficit of distant X-ray-emitting galaxy clusters and implications for cluster evolution
Article Abstract:
Radiative cooling of gases in galaxy clusters may be playing a major role in their evolution. This hypothesis was after studying weak flux-limited sample of galactic clusters selected from the Rosat International X-ray Optical Survey for analyzing the evolution of clusters of galaxies. Red distribution observed in the clusters indicates disagreement with models based on the evolution of gravitational potential.
