Ratio between the accreted mass and the total stellar mass of each galaxy as a function of radius. The colour bar shows the DM mass values of the galaxies. The solid vertical lines mark 4 Rh (i.e. the beginning of the stellar halo) and 5 Rh, and the horizontal dashed line marks 50% of the mass fraction. The inner stellar halos (from 4 to ∼6 Rh) are dominated by in situ material. Galaxies with M* ≤ 4.54 × 108 M⊙ are dominated by in situ material at all radii.
