Abstract
Using the public data releases of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), we investigated the galaxy density around Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxies in comparison to High Surface Brightness (HSB) galaxies. Our results show significantly lower galaxy densities in the vicinity of LSBs compared to HSBs on scales between 2 and 8 Mpc. On scales below 2 Mpc, the galaxy densities in the neighbourhood of LSBs are systematically (but only with a slight significance) below that of HSBs. In pie slice diagrams LSBs favour the outer rims of the filaments of the Large Scale Structure (LSS). Some LSBs are even found inside voids.
