Colours of isolated galaxies selected from the Two-Micron All-Sky Survey
The properties of isolated galaxies are driven mainly by intrinsic evolution and not by the external influence of their environments. Therefore, the sample of isolated galaxies can be considered as a reference sample to study different environmental effects. We have made detailed comparisons between the near-infrared (Two-Micron All-Sky Survey, 2MASS) …
