Comparing galaxy morphology and star formation properties in X-ray bright and faint groups and clusters
Abstract
Galaxy morphologies and star formation rates depend on environment. Galaxies in underdense regions are generally star-forming and discy whereas galaxies in overdense regions tend to be early-type and not actively forming stars. The mechanism(s) responsible for star formation quenching and morphological transformation remain unclear, although many processes have been proposed. We study the dependence of star formation and morphology on X-ray …
