AMIGA X. Isolated galaxy colors

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The basic properties of galaxies can be affected by both nature (internal processes) or nurture (interactions and effects of environment).

Description

Deconvolving the two effects is an important current effort in astrophysics. Observed properties of a sample of isolated galaxies should be mainly the result of internal (natural) evolution.

It follows that nurture-induced galaxy evolution can only be understood through a comparative study of galaxies in different environments. We take a first look at SDSS (g-r) colors of galaxies in the AMIGA sample, which consists of many of the most isolated galaxies in the local Universe. This alerted us at the same time the pitfalls of using automated SDSS colors.
