Abstract
Using the LOWZ (0.15 ≤ z ≤ 0.43) and CMASS (0.43 ≤ z ≤ 0.7) galaxy samples of the ninth data release from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), we investigate the environmental dependence of stellar mass of BOSS galaxies, and conclude that like the luminous red galaxy sample of the SDSS, the environmental dependence of stellar mass of BOSS galaxies is fairly weak. Results of this work also show that the CMASS sample with the redshift 0.43 ≤ z ≤ 0.7 used by many authors seriously suffers from the radial selection effect.
