Left: the quiescent fraction of ﹩\mathrm{log}({M}_{* }/{M}_{\odot })\,\geqslant \,10.5﹩ spectroscopically confirmed galaxies in overdense peaks as a function of overdense peak Mpeak is shown in red. In blue, we show the quiescent fraction of ﹩\mathrm{log}({M}_{* }/{M}_{\odot })\,\geqslant \,10.5﹩ galaxies in the field (﹩\mathrm{log}({\delta }_{{\rm{gal}}}+1)\lt 3{\sigma }_{\mathrm{log}({\delta }_{{\rm{gal}}}+1)}﹩. Right: quiescent fractions of galaxies in overdense peaks with ﹩\mathrm{log}({M}_{\mathrm{Peak}}/{M}_{\odot })\,\geqslant \,13﹩ are shown as a function of galaxy M*. In both panels, the gray shaded region indicates the part of parameter space not included in the other panel. Quiescent fractions in both cases are calculated in a moving window 0.5 dex wide. The solid median line is replaced with a dashed line when the total number of galaxies in the bin NSF + NQ < 5.
