Galaxy formation in the cosmic web
This thesis addresses a fundamental open question in astrophysical cosmology, i.e. whether and how the large-scale cosmic environment of a LambdaCDM universe affects the internal properties of dark matter haloes and of the baryonic galaxies they host during their formation and the subsequent billion years of cosmic evolution. Specifically, ...
