Density Profiles of TNG 300 Voids across Cosmic Time by Olivia Curtis, Bryanne McDonough, Tereasa G. Brainerd

“…Lastly, we identify distinct environments in which voids can exist, defining “void-in-void” and “void-in-cloud” populations (i.e., voids that reside in larger underdense or overdense regions, respectively), and we investigate ways in which the relative densities of dark matter and galaxies in the interiors and ridges of these structures vary as a function of void environment.…”
