Description
The properties of galaxies depend on their environment: red, passive
elliptical galaxies are usually located in denser environments than
blue, star-forming spiral galaxies. This difference in galaxy
populations can be detected at all scales from groups of galaxies to
superclusters. In this paper, we will discuss the effect of the
large-scale environment on galaxies. Our results suggest that galaxies
in superclusters are more likely to be passive than galaxies in voids
even when they belong to groups with the same richness. In addition, the
galaxies in superclusters are also affected by the morphology of the
supercluster: filament-type superclusters contain relatively more red,
passive galaxies than spider-type superclusters. These results suggest
that the evolution of a galaxy is not determined by its local
environment alone, but the large-scale environment also affects.
