Dancing in the dark: galactic properties trace spin swings along the cosmic web

<p>A large-scale hydrodynamical cosmological simulation, Horizon-AGN, is used to investigate the alignment between the spin of galaxies and the cosmic filaments above redshift 1.2. The analysis of more than 150 000 galaxies per time step in the redshift range 1.2 &lt; <em>z</em&g...
