ABSTRACT We study the population of backsplash galaxies at z = 0 in the outskirts of massive, isolated clusters of galaxies taken from the mdpl2-sag semi-analytical catalogue. We consider four types of backsplash galaxies according to whether they are forming stars or passive at three stages in thei...
