Recycling timescale measured using tracer particles for simulations with different opacities. The center panel is the M1 simulation, which uses our default opacity. After thermodynamic equilibrium is reached, tracer particles are integrated along streamlines backward in time. The measured time until they then escape the Hill sphere is the plotted recycling time. It measures for how long the gas has been inside the Hill sphere.
