Overview

Warning

The algorithm section is currently under construction, and will contain detailed information and visualisations about the internal HBT-HERONS algorithm. Planned sections beyond those already existing:

  • Assignment of host haloes
  • Identification of central subhaloes
  • Diffuse mass accretion
  • Unbinding and mass stripping
  • Subhalo sinking

Each of the key steps and data used within the HBT-HERONS algorithm are explained in detail in the following pages:

Several free parameters are involved in one or more of the above steps. The default values the code uses are chosen to produce sensible results. Nonetheless provide a series of tests of how changing the subhalo tracking and unbinding parameters affect subhalo-related statistics.
