Evidence of pre-processing and a dependence on dynamical state for low-mass satellite galaxies

We study the dependence of satellite star formation rate and morphology on group dynamics for a sample of Sloan Digital Sky Survey groups. We classify the group dynamical state and study satellite properties for populations of galaxies at small and large group-centric radii. For galaxies at large radii we find no differences in the star-forming or disc fraction for those in Gaussian groups compared to those in non-Gaussian groups. By comparing …
