ABSTRACT The standard paradigm for the formation of Universe suggests that large structures are formed from hierarchical clustering by continuous accretion less massive galaxy systems through filaments. In this context, filamentary play an important role in properties and evolution galaxies connecting high-density regions, such as nodes, being surrounded low-density cosmic voids. availability filament critical point catalogues extracted disperse illustris TNG300-1 hydrodynamic simulation...
