Figure 1: Relative distributions of passive (type 1), quiet-SF (type 2), active-SF (type 3 + 4) and all-type galaxies as a function of number of fainter neighbours (in 4 intervals), for the 10 volume limited samples. Numbers are normalized to the total number of galaxies of a given type: for each spectral type the sum over all environments is 1. The number of neighbour distribution, in the all-type galaxy sample, undergoes no significant modification with luminosity. |

Figure 2:
The relative content in passive, quiet-SF and
active-SF galaxies in the 10 volume-limited samples.
Error bars are multinomial.
The 40% fraction line is drawn to reveal "dominant'' populations.
Passive galaxies dominate in bright samples, active-SF
galaxies in faint samples, quiet-SF galaxies are never dominant.
The contribution of the 3 populations is comparable in the

Figure 3: Relative content in passive, quiet-SF and active-SF galaxies in the 10 volume-limited samples (symbols as in Fig. 2). Each panel refers to galaxies in a specific neighbour density bin. The absence of satellites (neigh = 0) efficiently reduces the dominance of passive galaxies in luminous samples, raising the contribution of quiet-SF galaxies. Conversely, a high density environment (neigh > 8) significantly enhances the contribution of passive galaxies in faint samples. |

Relative content in passive ( top-left), quiet-SF ( top-right)
and active-SF ( bottom-left) galaxies in samples of galaxies
in different environments.
Continuum lines are used to connect galaxy fractions
with 0 and >8 neighbours, dotted and hatched lines to connect galaxy

Figure 5: The spectral-type/satellite-density relation for passive, quiet-SF and active-SF galaxies in the 9 brightest samples. Symbols are as in Fig. 2, small dots indicate the cumulative contribution of active and quiet-SF galaxies. Fractions have been computed using values listed in Table 2, normalized to the total number of galaxies in a given density bin so that, in each environment, the sum over all spectral types is 1. |
