The colours of satellite galaxies in the Illustris simulation

Observationally, the fraction of blue satellite galaxies decreases steeply with host halo mass, and their radial distribution around central galaxies is significantly shallower in massive (M[subscript *] ≥ 10[superscript 11] M[subscript ⊙]) than in Milky Way-like systems. Theoretical models, based p...
