Abstract

This study examines the impact of cluster environments on galaxy properties using data from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program and an optically selected CAMIRA cluster sample. Specifically, the study analyzes the fractions of quiescent and green valley galaxies with stellar masses above 10 ^8.6 M _⊙ at z ∼ 0.2 and 10 ^9.8 M _⊙ at z ∼ 1.1, investigating their trends in radius and density. The results indicate that a slow quenching mechanism is at work, as evidenced by a radially independent specific star formation rate reduction of 0.1 dex for star-forming galaxies in a cluster environment. The study also finds that slow quenching dominates fast quenching only for low-mass galaxies (
