Supercluster SCl 126. Top panels: Minkowski functional ﹩V_{3}﹩ (the Euler characteristic) vs. the mass fraction ﹩m_{f}﹩ for bright (B, ﹩M\leq -20.0﹩) and faint (F, ﹩M> -20.0﹩) galaxies (top left), for early‐ and late‐type galaxies (top middle), and for red and blue galaxies (top right). Bottom panels: Morphological signatures ﹩K_{1}﹩ (planarity)–﹩K_{2}﹩ (filamentarity) for the same populations. Triangles show the values of K1, K2, where the mass fraction ﹩m_{f}=0.0﹩ (the whole supercluster), and filled circles show the values of K1, K2, which correspond to ﹩m_{f}=0.7﹩. In the left panels we also plot the ﹩V_{3}﹩ and K1, K2 curves for the whole supercluster (light gray line).
