Abstract

The Horizon Run 4 is a huge cosmological simulation intended for the study of evolution of dark matter halos in a side of volume of 3150 h-1 Mpc. Using the halo merger trees of most bound particles, we test various models on the survivals of satellites in clusters and will compare them with observed satellite galaxies in a one-to-one correspondence model. We estimate the abundances of central and satellite subhalos, and compare them with the SDSS main-galaxy group catalogue provided by Tempel et al. (2014). Based on these comparisons we will study the mass-to-light relations, environmental effects on morphology and luminosity function, halo occupations in clusters, and nonlinear dynamics of clusters of galaxies.
