The k-Nearest Neighbour technique is adapted to take into account the probability density functions of photometric redshifts in our calculations. This algorithm was tested on simulated KiDS tiles, showing its capability of recovering the relation between galaxy colour, luminosity, and local environment. The characterization of the galaxy environment in G3C groups shows systematically steeper density contrasts for more massive groups. The red galaxy fraction gradients in these groups is evident for most of group mass bins. The density contrast of red galaxies is systematically higher at group centres when compared to blue galaxy ones. In addition, distinct group centre definitions are used to show that our results are insensitive to centre definitions. These results confirm the galaxy evolution scenario which environmental mechanisms are responsible for a slow quenching process as galaxies fall into groups and clusters, resulting in a smooth observed colour gradients in galaxy systems. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/29100 | URL: | http://arxiv.org/abs/1712.07670v2 https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article-abstract/478/2/1968/4970791?redirectedFrom=fulltext |
