Substructure in the most massive GEEC groups: field‐like populations in dynamically active groups

The presence of substructure in galaxy groups and clusters is believed to be a sign of recent galaxy accretion and can be used to probe not only the assembly history of these structures, but also the evolution of their member galaxies. Using the Dressler–Shectman (DS) test, we study substructure in a sample of intermediate‐redshift (z∼ 0.4) galaxy groups from the Group Environment and Evolution Collaboration (GEEC) group catalogue. We find that …
