Classification of the occupation of the host haloes of DESI high-z (green) and low-z (purple) samples, as well as the DESI-TNG and DESI-SAM mock samples at z ∼ 1 (blue and orange). We distinguish between haloes containing only a central ELG (top left), only ELG satellites (bottom right), and both ELG centrals and satellites (right, conformal haloes). We also provide the average halo masses in each case. All halo masses are expressed in h⁻¹ M_⊙ units. In all cases, the inference for DESI is bracketed between the DESI-TNG and DESI-SAM mock DESI catalogues.
