How to describe galaxy distribution in space? in 1980,great wall 2PCF widely used for 2dFGRS/SDSS
etc (1980, Peebles)
biased with dark matter distribution
cosmological parameters
Two-point correlation
Galaxy alignment
Several types of galaxy alignment
Small scales
One halo term Two halo term
In addition to galaxy clustering, Why do we care galaxy alignment?
On small scale (one-halo term)
(Nature vs Nurture?) On large scales (two-halo term)

N-body study is limited as its difficult to properly determine the shape of central galaxy

Result
★There is mis-alignment between shape of central galaxy and DM halo ★Their misalignment is a function of halo mass (color dependence of central) ★misalignment is a function of radial distance (red satellites in inner halo,blues at

web determines the spin-LSS correlation!
van de Weygaert 96
This scenario is basically right but details to be declared From this cosmic mass flow, we expect But, simulations have found In Filament, there is still a mass dependence (spin flip) Any dependence on halo migrating time ? (from wall to filament) can we see the spin flip during the history of a massive halo?

we find: Accretion along halo major axis: universal Accretion along e3 of LSS: not universal
(their mass bin is too wide)

Dependence on time of formation and entering in Filament
Spin-LSS: dependence on Z_formation and Z_filament
(spin is build by mass accretion along filament)
build when they were in wall)
Wang & Kang, 2016 in prep
ascribed to primordial anisotropy at accretion or the triaxial nature of DM halo
inner halo shape, and alignment increases with halo mass
axis is universal, being strong in massive haloes
(subhalo accretion along LSS is not universal)
enter filament later (spin is formed in wall, so parallel to filament)
early, but form later (spin is formed in filament by mass accretion along it)
