COWS: Cosmic web filament finder
Pfeifer, Simon; Libeskind, Noam I.; Hoffman, Yehuda; Hellwing, Wojciech A.; Bilicki, Maciej; Naidoo, Krishna
COWS (COsmic Web Skeleton) implements the cosmic filament finder COsmic Web Skeleton (COWS). Written in Python, the cosmic filament finder works on Hessian-based cosmic web identifiers (such as the V-web) and returns a catalogue of filament spines. The code identifies the medial axis, or skeleton, of cosmic web filaments and then separates this skeleton into individual filaments.
