Void Catalogues as Antihalos in the Local Universe

Astrophysical catalogues of cosmic voids described in the 2021 paper by H. Desmond et al. from the University of Oxford. These data products represent voids as antihalos in the local Universe. The archives contain the data products referenced in the associated research.

Use Cases

• Validate cosmological models based on void statistics mentioned in the description.
• Study the relationship between galaxies and cosmic voids based on the antihalo framework.
• Compare void-finding algorithms using the provided catalogues as a benchmark.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a peer-reviewed publication from 2021.
• Produced by researchers at the University of Oxford.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
