Artist’s impression of cosmic filaments: huge bridges of galaxies and dark matter connect clusters of galaxies to each other.

Galaxies are funneled on corkscrew like orbits towards and into large clusters that sit at their ends.

By mapping the motion of galaxies in huge filaments that connect the cosmic web, astronomers at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP), in collaboration with scientists in China and Estonia, have found that these long tendrils of galaxies spin on the scale of hundreds of millions of light years.

The results published in Nature Astronomy signify that angular momentum can be generated on unprecedented scales.

Cosmic filaments are huge bridges of galaxies and dark matter that connect clusters of galaxies to each other.

“By mapping the motion of galaxies in these huge cosmic superhighways using the Sloan Digital Sky survey – a survey of hundreds of thousands of galaxies – we found a remarkable property of these filaments: they spin.” says Peng Wang, first author of the now published study and astronomer at the AIP.

The cosmic web in general and filaments, in particular, are intimately connected with galaxy formation and evolution.

They also have a strong effect on galaxy spin, often regulating the direction of how galaxies and their dark matter halos rotate.

However, it is not known whether the current understanding of structure formation predicts that filaments themselves, being uncollapsed quasi-linear objects, should spin.

Mark Neyrinck that filaments may spin, we examined the observed galaxy distribution, looking for filament rotation,” says Noam Libeskind.

“It’s fantastic to see this confirmation that intergalactic filaments rotate in the real Universe, as well as in computer simulation.” By using a sophisticated mapping method, the observed galaxy distribution was segmented into filaments.

The study implies that depending on the viewing angle and end point mass, filaments in the universe show a clear signal consistent with rotation.
