Galaxy populations in haloes in high-density environments

Abstract
There are hints suggesting that properties of galaxy populations in dark matter haloes may depend on their large-scale environment. Recent works point out that very low-density environments influence halo occupation distribution (HOD), however there is not a similar analysis focused on high-density environments. Here we use a simulated set of future virialized superstructures (FVS) to analyse the occupation of galaxies in haloes within these high globally dense regions. We use a publicly available simulated galaxy set constructed with a semi-analytical model to identify FVS in the simulation. Then, we computed the HOD within these superstructures for different absolute magnitude thresholds and make several analysis including the comparison to the global HOD results. We study the dependence on the results on properties of the FVS such as density and volume as well as consider the morphology of galaxies. We also analysed the properties of the stellar content of galaxies and the formation time of the haloes inside FVS. We find a significant increase in the HOD inside FVS. This result is present for all absolute magnitude thresholds explored. The effect is larger in the densest regions of FVS, but does not depend on the volume of the superstructure. We also find that the stellar-mass content of galaxies considerably differs inside the superstructures. Low mass haloes have their central and satellite galaxies with a higher stellar mass content (50%), and exhibit mean star ages (20%) older than average. For massive haloes in FVS we find that only the stellar mass of satellite galaxies varies considerably corresponding to a decrease of 50%. We find a significant statistical difference between the formation times of haloes in FVS and the average population. Haloes residing in superstructures formed earlier, a fact that leads to several changes in the HOD and their member galaxy properties.
