The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
Reliable Photometric Membership (RPM): a support-vector-machine classifier trained on spectroscopic members of the SCALE sample (excluding A4038) that uses S-PLUS colors, magnitudes, photo-zs, surface brightness and projected distance to assign membership probabilities, recovering faint members missed by spectroscopy.
What would settle it
Obtain substantially more spectroscopic redshifts for the RPM-selected A4038 candidates (especially the 124 new photometric members within 5 R200) and re-run the substructure and color–concentration tests; if many supposed members are interlopers or the concentration-dependent color slopes disappear, the membership and evolutionary claims fail.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
S-PLUS photometric redshifts agree well with spectroscopic redshifts for the 83 systems, enabling reliable photometric membership; applied to Abell 4038 this recovers new members and about a dozen substructures (including A4038B and A4049), while color–luminosity segregation weakens for low-concentration galaxies so that low-luminosity systems are blue largely independent of concentration, challenging a simple morphology–color dichotomy.
Load-bearing premise
The catalog and A4038 analysis rest on dynamical M200 and R200 from iterative shifting-gapper membership plus a velocity-dispersion–mass scaling that the paper itself reports can have tens-of-percent to factor-of-two uncertainties, especially for poorly sampled low-mass systems.

Referee Report
Summary. The paper introduces SCALE and delivers a catalog of 83 known groups/clusters (0.008 ≤ z ≤ 0.1) in S-PLUS DR5 with iteratively derived σ_cl, R200, and M200 from literature spectroscopy via the shifting-gapper technique, plus a large membership table. It demonstrates that S-PLUS photo-zs match literature spec-zs well (small peak offsets s, σ_NMAD ≲ 1–3% by magnitude), applies the RPM algorithm to recover photometric members of Abell 4038, maps ~a dozen substructures (including A4038B and A4049) with 2D/3D methods, and reports a color–luminosity trend that is weaker for low-concentration (C ≤ 2.5) galaxies, with faint systems blue largely independent of C.
Significance. A homogeneous southern reference sample with public membership catalogs, photo-z validation, and multi-method substructure maps is useful for environmental studies and for planning spectroscopy (e.g. 4MOST/CHANCES). Strengths include deliberate exclusion of A4038 from RPM training, explicit photo-z vs. spec-z offset corrections, and an independent eROSITA mass check (median offset −0.03 dex, σ_MAD = 0.20 dex). The evolutionary claim that concentration modulates the color–magnitude relation and challenges a simple morphology–color dichotomy is interesting but rests on a single complex system; if confirmed on the full SCALE sample it would be a solid contribution to environmental quenching studies.
major comments (2)
- [Abstract; §4.3–4.6; Fig. 4, 6] The abstract and §4.5–4.6/Fig. 6 present the weaker color–luminosity slope for C ≤ 2.5 and the faint-end convergence as evidence for mass-dependent pathways that challenge a simple morphology–color dichotomy. That interpretation is drawn only from A4038 (420 RPM members inside 5 R200). Section 4.3 and Fig. 4 show three kinematically distinct systems (A4038, A4038B at |ΔV|/σ ~ 1.5–2, A4049 at R/R200 ~ 1.25). Photometric members assigned to “A4038” can therefore mix galaxies from different halos and dynamical states. The paper should either re-run the C-split analysis after excluding or separately tagging A4038B/A4049 members, or clearly reframe the result as a pilot finding for one multi-halo field rather than a general evolutionary claim.
- [§2; Appendix B; §4.4–4.5] All radial normalizations and the 5 R200 membership cut for A4038 use R200 from the iterative shifting-gapper + Ferragamo/Munari σ–M pipeline. Section 2 and Appendix B report median ΔM200/M200 ≃ 38% (and 70–140% for N200 < 10). For A4038 itself (N200 = 119) the mass is better constrained, but the absolute length scale remains uncertain. A short sensitivity test (re-binning colors/radii at R200 ± 20–30%, or quoting physical Mpc alongside R/R200) would show whether the C-split slopes and faint-end convergence are robust to that scale error.
minor comments (5)
- [§4.4] No k-corrections are applied to g−r (§4.4). The stated ~0.02 mag shift at z = 0.028 is small, but a one-sentence note that relative quintile ordering is unchanged (or a quick check with Chilingarian-style k-corrections) would close the point for absolute color comparisons.
- [§4.5] The C = 2.5 split is justified for dwarfs, but the text should state whether C is measured on S-PLUS or Legacy imaging and whether a seeing/PSF floor was applied beyond the Petrosian-radius argument for Q5.
- [Table 1; §3.2] Table 1 lists s for many systems but leaves blanks for others; a short note on when s could not be measured (too few members, multi-peaked distributions) would help users of the catalog.
- [Fig. 3] Figure 3 color coding is helpful; adding a brief legend or panel labels that map colors to the named substructures (A4038B, A4049, eastern group, etc.) would make the 2D/3D comparison easier to follow without the text.
- [§2; Table 1] For systems with M200 ≲ 10^13 M⊙ the paper already cautions that masses are highly uncertain; consider flagging those rows more visibly in Table 1 (e.g. a quality column) so the catalog is not over-interpreted.
Circularity Check
No load-bearing circularity: catalog masses, photo-z validation, RPM membership (trained excluding A4038), and A4038 trends are data-driven against external benchmarks; only routine method self-citations.
full rationale
The derivation chain is observational and non-circular. Spectroscopic members for the 83 systems are selected via the shifting-gapper technique on literature redshifts (Lima 2025 compilation), then M200/R200/sigma are obtained iteratively from the Ferragamo/Munari sigma-M scaling (external calibrations) and compared independently to eROSITA X-ray masses (Appendix B: median offset -0.03 dex, sigma_MAD=0.20 dex). Photo-z performance is quantified against the same external spec-zs (sigma_NMAD, bias, PIT, HPDCI in Fig. 1; peak offsets s measured and listed in Table 1, then applied). RPM photometric membership for A4038 is trained on the other SCALE systems while deliberately excluding A4038 galaxies, then validated for completeness/purity against held-out spectroscopic members. Substructure detection (DS+/mclust/CALSAGOS) and the color-luminosity-concentration trends (Figs. 5-6) are direct analyses of the resulting member catalogs; they do not redefine inputs as outputs. Overlapping-author citations (Lopes & Ribeiro 2020 for RPM; prior Lopes shifting-gapper papers) supply reusable tools, not uniqueness theorems or fitted parameters that force the central claims. Residual score of 1 reflects only that methodological scaffolding is partly self-cited, which is normal and non-load-bearing. No self-definitional loop, fitted-input-as-prediction, or ansatz smuggling is present.

abstract
Within the framework of the Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey (S-PLUS), we introduce ${\bf S}$-PLUS ${\bf C}$lusters ${\bf A}$nd ${\bf L}$arge-scale ${\bf E}$nvironments (SCALE), a project dedicated to the study of galaxy clusters, groups, and their environments using 12-band photometry of S-PLUS combined with spectroscopic and photometric data from the literature. In this first paper, we present a catalog of 83 previously known systems in the redshift range $0.008 \leq z_{\rm spec} \leq 0.1$, for which we derive $R_{200}$, $M_{200}$, and velocity dispersions. Spectroscopic members are selected and matched with S-PLUS photometric redshifts (photo-$z$s). We find very good agreement between literature spectroscopic redshifts (spec-$z$s) and S-PLUS photometric redshifts (photo-$z$s), demonstrating the potential of the latter for cluster and group membership determination. As a proof of concept, we obtain photometric memberships for Abell 4038 using the Reliable Photometric Membership technique. A two- and three-dimensional analysis of the region within $10 h^{-1}$ Mpc ($10\times R_{200}$) from the center of Abell 4038 reveals about a dozen substructures including two additional clusters within $1.3\times R_{200}$ (Abell 4038B and Abell 4049). A color-luminosity segregation analysis shows that more luminous (less luminous) galaxies are redder (bluer), as expected. Low-concentration galaxies ($C \leq 2.5$) exhibit a weaker color-luminosity dependence, compared to higher-concentration ones, indicating mass-dependent evolutionary pathways that challenge a simple morphology-color dichotomy, with low-luminosity galaxies presenting bluer colors largely independent of concentration. The SCALE catalog provides a valuable basis for future studies of large-scale structures and their connection to galaxy evolution.
