Ratio of the mean projected (2D) distance to cosmic filaments for two galaxy populations as a function of redshift in SIMBA with log(SFR_SB/SFR_MS) > 0.2 dex and log(τ_SB/τ_MS) <  − 0.2 dex. The purple curve shows the ratio between starbursts and MS galaxies mass-matched to starbursts (solid purple line and solid blue line in Fig. 2). The red curve shows the ratio between quenched galaxies mass-matched to the MS sample and MS galaxies (solid red line and dotted blue line in Fig. 2). At late cosmic times, starbursts are, on average, located farther from filaments than their mass-matched MS counterparts. On the other hand, quenched galaxies lie, on average, closer to filaments than mass-matched MS galaxies, and the contrast between the two increases towards lower redshift values.
