infall regions of clusters, star-formation histories

Masjedi gave me great comments on the recently re-completed post-starburst environments paper. He noted that some of the discussion about infall regions was not quite right in tone, and in fact we do have a marginally significant detection of the infall of galaxies into clusters. I am incorporating his comments now.

Bhardwaj is very close to having a full-up star-formation history fitting code, specialized for fitting old stellar populations with small amounts of recent star formation. This will be used to investigate UV-excess and mid-IR-excess early-type galaxies, and a host of other fun things.

  1. What is this evidence of infall you speak of and where do I read about this? Enquiring minds and all that.
