Abstract Using the apparent magnitude-limited Main galaxy sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 10, we examine the K-band luminosity–density relation at fixed parameters or for different galaxy families. It is found that the limiting or fixing galaxy properties, such as galaxy morphology, stellar mass, and color, exert substantial influence on the environmental dependence of the K-band luminosity of galaxies, which suggests that the K-band luminosity–density relation is likely attributable to the relation between these galaxy properties and density.

固定参数或不同星系族的 K 波段光度-密度关系

摘要 使用斯隆数字巡天数据第 10 版中视星等受限的主星系样本，我们研究了固定参数或不同星系族的 K 波段光度-密度关系。发现限制或固定的星系属性，如星系形态、恒星质量和颜色，对星系 K 波段光度的环境依赖性产生重大影响，这表明 K 波段光度-密度关系是可能归因于这些星系特性和密度之间的关系。
