Description
Low surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs) being considered to account for a significant fraction of the total number density of galaxies play a crucial role in galaxy evolution. However, their connection to their local environment remains poorly understood, despite the well-established influence of the environment on the evolution of galaxies. In this talk, I will primarily present our recent results on the environmental correlations of various LSBG properties with the help of marked correlation function (MCF) measurements. Our results are based on the LSBG galaxy samples from the Dark Energy Survey and North Ecliptic Pole Wide field. I will also present results from our previous studies that investigated how luminosities in optical to mid-IR bands, stellar mass, star formation rate, and galaxy merger probability are correlated with the local environment. Additionally, I will present updates from our ongoing South African in-kind contribution in the Rubin Observatory's LSST Galaxy Science Collaboration to cross-match Rubin and MeerKAT.
