Modify Concepts: "Underdense region of the Universe" #301

Closed katieefrey closed 4 years ago

katieefrey commented 4 years ago

Topic to modify "Underdense region of the Universe"

Describe the concept used for large voids in the galactic structure. In the UAT, there are : http://astrothesaurus.org/uat/625 Galaxy voids, with BT Cosmic web and Galaxy physics http://astrothesaurus.org/uat/815 Intergalactic voids, with BT Intergalactic medium http://astrothesaurus.org/uat/1779 Voids, with BT Large-scale structure of the universe The last 2, if not the 3 concepts seem closely related ! Could they be merged, or kept as "Use for", or at least added as related terms ?

Please include any additional comments/feedback Suggestion from Sebastien Derriere, Observatoire de Strasbourg

I agree that these three are probably the same concept. Which is the most preferred term?

katieefrey commented 4 years ago

I'm merging 625 and 815 into 1779 ("Galaxy voids" & "Intergalactic voids" into "Voids"), deprecating 625, and collecting all BT relationships for these concepts.

BT relationship between "voids" and "Intergalactic medium" needs further investigation, but I think it's a candidate for removal.

Changes will be seen in the next release.
