Fig. 4: Distributions of SGB in the redshift range 0.01 < z < 0.02 for simulated galaxies and host haloes, ranked according to different criteria.

From: Distinct distributions of elliptical and disk galaxies across the Local Supercluster as a ΛCDM prediction

Fig. 4

Left, distributions of galaxies ranked by stellar mass; the 10 or 100 most massive galaxies in the SIBELIUS simulation are significantly more concentrated to low supergalactic latitudes compared to less massive galaxies. The distributions of the 1,000 or 10,000 most massive galaxies are similar. Middle, distribution of the most massive haloes, ranked by M200. The most massive haloes (which contain a high number nE of the 50 most massive ellipticals but a much lesser number nD, of the 50 most massive disks) are close to the supergalactic plane. Right, distributions of ellipticals, disks and intermediates in the mass range of the most massive 100 disks, that is, at the same stellar mass. Bars indicate ±1σ statistical error. Even comparing at equal mass, ellipticals and intermediates are more strongly concentrated near the supergalactic plane than disk galaxies.
