Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Kai Wang, H. J. Mo, Yangyao Chen, Huiyuan Wang, Xiaohu Yang | Summary: We propose a novel method to quantify the assembly histories of dark matter halos with the redshift evolution of the mass-weighted spatial variance of their progenitor halos, i.e. the protohalo size history. We find […]
