Abstract

We use a large-scale Lambda-CDM hydrodynamical simulation to assess the dependence of the cosmic Star Formation Rate (SFR) on overdensity of luminosity. The `morphology-density relation' is qualitatively captured when the SFR is plotted as a function of redshift, divided into the quartiles of the overdensity distribution.
