Stellar mass () of the two main contributor satellites (SHMCs) to the stellar halo as a function of the stellar halo mass. The upper panel is color-coded by the percentage mass contributed by the SHMC to the accreted stellar halo (Macc), the middle panel is color-coded by the infall redshift of the satellite (
), and the lower panel is color-coded by the disruption redshift (
). In some galaxies, the main contributor is a surviving satellite which is denoted by open circles. The dashed line represents the 1:1 line, while the solid line indicates the linear regression.
