We use a homogeneously selected sample of field and cluster galaxies whose membership is derived from dynamical analysis. Using [O II]-derived star formation rates (SFRs), we find that cluster galaxies have suppressed SFRs at fixed stellar mass in comparison to their field counterparts by a factor of 1.4 +/- 0.1 (similar to 3.3 sigma) across the stellar mass range: 9.0 < log (M-*/M-circle dot) < 11.2. We also find that this modest suppression in the cluster galaxy star-forming main sequence is mass and redshift dependent: the difference between cluster and field increases towards lower stellar masses and lower redshift. When comparing the distribution of cluster and field galaxy SFRs to the star-forming main sequence, we find an overall shift towards lower SFRs in the cluster population, and note the absence of a tail of high SFR galaxies as seen in the field. Given this observed suppression in the cluster galaxy star-forming main sequence, we explore the implications for several scenarios such as formation time differences between cluster and field galaxies, and environmentally induced star formation quenching and associated time-scales.Astronomy & AstrophysicsAstronomy & Astrophysicsgalaxies: clusters: generalgalaxies: evolutionquenching time-scalesdigital sky surveysimilar-to 1spectroscopic confirmationredshift surveyvelocity dispersionsdensity environmentsformation historiesquiescent galaxiesspherical systemsThe GOGREEN survey: the environmental dependence of the star-forming galaxy main sequence at 1.0 < z < 1.5text::journal::journal article::research article
