Abstract: We study a space of genus g stable, n-marked tropical curves with total edge length 1. Its rational homology is identified both with top-weight cohomology of the complex moduli space Mg,n and with the homology of a marked version of Kontsevich's graph complex, up to a shift in degrees. We prove a contractibility criterion that applies to various large subspaces. From this we derive a description of the homotopy type of the tropical moduli space for g=1, the top weight cohomology of M1,n as an Sn-representation, and additional calculations for small (g,n). We also deduce a vanishing theorem for homology of marked graph complexes from vanishing of cohomology of Mg,n in appropriate degrees, and comment on stability phenomena, or lack thereof.
