Filamentary galaxy clustering - A mapping algorithmA simple and objective algorithm is presented which not only accurately identifies the filamentary structures in the Shane-Wirtanen galaxy count catalog, but also finds a set of visually less impressive filaments in a static hierarchical model of the clustering conducted by Soneira and Peebles (1978). The statistical properties of the elements in the model, while very similar to those in the data, show a significant excess of long and bright filaments in the data relative to the model. Two possible interpretations of these results are presented and discussed.
