PDF of |cos ϕ|, the cosine of the angle between the spin of the central galaxy and the total orbital momentum of its satellites (measured in the rest frame of their central) for 0.3 < z < 0.8 and for different g − r satellite colour bins. For red quenched satellites, the orbital momentum tends to be aligned with the central galactic spin. The effect is much weaker for blue star forming satellites, consistent with their preferential orientation along the filament.
