More than just halo mass: Modelling how the red galaxy fraction depends on multiscale density in a HOD framework

Stefanie Phleps, David J. Wilman, Stefano Zibetti +1

The fraction of galaxies with red colours depends sensitively on environment, and on the way in which environment is measured. To distinguish competing theories for the quenching o…
