Left panel: Same quantities as in Fig. 8 after correction of the SFR modulation with distance and randomly picking a SFR deviation from a Schreiber et al. (2015) MS modified to fit SIMBA’s MS. Here, starbursts have SFRs such as log(SFR/SFR_MS) > 0.4 dex. Right panel: Same quantities as in the left panel with shuffled galaxy masses. Although the ⟨d_fil⟩ values change, the lines cross as in Fig. 8, and the general trends are similar. This allowed us to test the effect of modulation of SFR with the distance to filaments characterised in J26.
