Dependence of the clustering properties of galaxies on star formation rate and specific star formation rate
Keyword(s):
The primary goal of this study is to explore the dependence of the clustering properties of galaxies on star formation rate (SFR) and specific star formation rate (SSFR). From the main galaxy sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7, we construct two volume-limited samples with absolute magnitudes above and below [Formula: see text], and then divide each volume-limited main galaxy sample into two subsamples with low SFRs and high SFRs or low SSFRs and high SSFRs. A strong dependence of the clustering properties on SFR and SSFR is found: high SFR and SSFR galaxies are preferentially isolated or found in close pairs and small groups, whereas low SFR and SSFR galaxies preferentially inhabit dense groups and clusters.
