The main feature of the spatial large-scale galaxy distribution is its intricate network of galaxy filaments. This network is spanned by the galaxy locations that can be interpreted as a three-dimensional point distribution. The global properties of the point process can be measured by different statistical methods, which, however, do not describe directly the structure elements. The morphology of the large-scale structure, on the other hand, is an important property of the galaxy distribution. Here, we apply an object point process with interactions (the Bisous model) to trace and extract the filamentary network in the presently largest galaxy redshift survey, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We search for filaments in the galaxy distribution that have a radius of about 0.5 h −1 Mpc. We divide the detected network into single filaments

Tracing the cosmic web (2017, methodology): “More detailed descriptions of the Bisous model can be found in Stoica et al. (2007, 2010) and Tempel et al. (2014, 2016).”
Evolution of the cosmic web (2014, background): “…also received their fair share of attention, with numerous studies analysing filament properties as length, cross-section and shape (Colberg 2007; Sousbie et al. 2008b; Park & Lee 2009; Bond et al. 2010b; Murphy, Eke & Frenk 2011; Pandey et al. 2011; Smith et al. 2012; Tempel et al. 2014b).”
