Definitions of the subhalo properties considered for the RF.
1. Mass proxies | Msub | Current mass of the subhalo |
Mpeak | Maximum value of Msub through the evolution of the subhalo | |
Mhalo | Mass of the host halo (∼Msub for centrals) | |
Vmax | Maximum value of the subhalo circular velocity, ![]() |
|
Vpeak | Maximum value of Vmax through the evolution of the subhalo | |
2. Time indicators | tinfall | Last time a subhalo was identified as a central |
aMpeak | Time when the subhalo reached its peak mass (Mpeak) | |
tVpeak | Time when the subhalo reached its peak Vmax (Vpeak) | |
Age | Half-mass formation time of a subhalo | |
Halo age | Half-mass formation time of the host halo | |
3. Accretion | Ṁ | Difference in Msub between the current and the previous snapshot |
Ṁat peak | Difference in Msub between tMpeak and its previous snapshot | |
![]() |
Difference in Vmax between the current and the previous snapshot | |
![]() |
Difference in Vmax between tVpeak and its previous snapshot | |
4. Environmental | Linear bias | Object-by-object bias (Paranjape et al. 2018; Paranjape & Alam 2020) |
αpeak | Local tidal anisotropy (Ramakrishnan et al. 2019; Zjupa et al. 2020) | |
Central distance to halo | Distance to the central subhalo (0 for centrals) | |
Min central dist to halo | Minimum value of the Central distance to halo through the evolution of | |
the subhalo | ||
5. Other properties | Angular momentum | Modulus of the halo angular momentum |
& ratios | Vmax/V200, tinfall | Concentration proxy. Ratio between Vmax and Vvir when each subhalo was |
last identified as a central | ||
Vpeak/Vvir (calculated from Mpeak) | Concentration proxy, calculated without the need of the full merger tree. | |
⟨ν⟩t | Integrated growth history (Chaves-Montero et al., in prep.) | |
Msub/Mhalo | Ratio between the mass of the subhalo and its host halo | |
Msub/Mpeak | Ratio between the current mass and the peak mass of a subhalo | |
Vmax/Vpeak | Ratio between the peak mass and the current mass of a subhalo |
