TLDR
In this article, the authors studied the galaxy star formation rate as a function of environment using the SDSS EDR data and found that the suppression of the SFR starts to be noticeable at around 4 virial radii.Abstract:
We study the galaxy star formation rate (SFR) as a function of environment using the SDSS EDR data. We nd that the SFR is depressed in dense environments (clusters and groups) compared to the eld. We nd that the suppression of the SFR starts to be noticeable at around 4 virial radii. We nd no evidence for SF triggering as galaxies fall into the clusters. We also present a project to study these eects in cluster pairs systems where the eects of lamen ts and large scale structure may be noticeable.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive study of the physical properties of ∼ 10 5 galaxies with measurable star formation in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) by comparing physical information extracted from the emission lines with continuum properties, and build up a picture of the nature of star-forming galaxies at z < 0.2.

TL;DR: The Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area (CALIFA) survey as discussed by the authors was designed to provide a first step in this direction by obtaining spatially resolved spectroscopic information of a diameter selected sample of similar to 600 galaxies in the Local Universe.

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Technical Summary
TL;DR: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) as mentioned in this paper provides the data to support detailed investigations of the distribution of luminous and non-luminous matter in the Universe: a photometrically and astrometrically calibrated digital imaging survey of pi steradians above about Galactic latitude 30 degrees in five broad optical bands.

The Luminosity function and stellar evolution
TL;DR: In this paper, the evolutionary significance of the observed luminosity function for main-sequence stars in the solar neighborhood is discussed and it is shown that stars move off the main sequence after burning about 10 per cent of their hydrogen mass and that stars have been created at a uniform rate in a solar neighborhood for the last five billion years.
