Properties of Voids and Void Galaxies in the TNG300 Simulation

We investigate the properties of voids and void galaxies in the TNG300 simulation. Using a luminous galaxy catalog and a spherical void-finding algorithm, we identify 5078 voids at redshift z = 0. The voids cover 83% of the simulation volume and have a median radius of 4.4 h ^−1 Mpc. We identify two...
