What is Luminosity-Environment Relation in the Lowz Sample of the SDSS-III about?
In this work, we examine the environmental dependence of the u-, g-, r-, i-and z-band luminosities in the LOWZ sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 10 (SDSS DR10). To decrease the radial selection effect, we divide the LOWZ sample into subsamples with a redshift bin size of ∆z = 0.01 and analyze the environmental dependence of luminosities for these subsamples in each redshift bin. It is found that all five band luminosities of the LOWZ galaxy sample in the redshift region z=0.16-0.23 show substantial correlation with the local environment, especially in the redshift bins 0.19-0.20 and 0.20-0.21. The environmental dependence of all five band luminosities in the LOWZ galaxy sample becomes weak with increasing redshift, like the one in the apparent-magnitude limited Main galaxy sample.
