Galaxy properties from voids to clusters in the SDSS-DR4
Abstract
We investigate the environmental dependence of galaxy populations properties in the SDSS-DR4. Our aim is to search for systematic variations in the properties of galaxies with the local galaxy density in order to find hints that can be related to the presence of a void galaxy population. We find that galaxies in underdense regions (voids) are fainte and bluer than cluster galaxies. Moreover, the transition from underdense to overdense regions is smooth, as well as the percentage of late-type galaxies decreases while the percentage of early-type galaxies increases smoothly from underdense to dense environments.
