Fraction of misaligned gas–star PA for BGGs residing in groups with a varying luminosity gap, ΔM12 (right), and BGG offset, Doffset (left). Colored lines show the trend for three stellar mass bins. Black dashed lines show the median trend for all BGGs in our sample. Errors (color-shaded lines) are 1σ confidence intervals on the fractions calculated by the bootstrap method. Gray vertical dashed lines in each panel show the selection for low/high offset and high/low gap groups.
