Galaxy Populations in Groups and Clusters: Evidence for a Characteristic Stellar Mass Scale at M ∗ ∼ 109.5 M ⊙

We use the DR9 of the DESI legacy imaging survey and SDSS galaxy groups to measure the conditional luminosity function (CLF) for groups with halo mass M _h ≥ 10 ^12 M _⊙ and redshift 0.01 ≤ z ≤ 0.08, down to a limiting r -band magnitude of M _r = −10 to −12. For given halo masses we measure the CLF...
