Active galactic nucleus feedback drives the colour evolution of local galaxies

We investigate the effects of active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback on the colour evolution of galaxies found in local (z < 0.2) groups and clusters. Galaxies located within the lobes of powerful Fanaroff-Riley type II (FR II) (edge-brightened) sources show much redder colours than neighbour...
