Abstract

In this project, we will study how the properties of the stellar populations of galaxies depend on the global parameters of the groups where they reside. For this, we will select groups of galaxies in the local universe ($z \simless 0.01$) and analyze the stellar populations of their members using spectral synthesis techniques applied to the S-PLUS photometry. This will allow us to assess how the global properties of groups affect the stellar populations and, therefore, the evolution of galaxies.(AU)
