COSMOS Total Environment Catalog Definitions

Overview

All objects that are flagged as galaxies (type=0 in the COSMOS2015 catalog) and are in the redshift range 0.1 < z < 1.2 are selected and interpolated to the environment and cosmic web measurements of Darvish et al. (2017). Note that no stellar mass or coordinate cuts are applied to this sample. Please cite Darvish et al. 2017, ApJ, 837, 16 and Darvish et al. 2015, ApJ, 805, 121 if you use this catalog.

Name Intype Units Description
