The paper determines the merger rates of dark matter haloes as a function of halo mass, merger mass ratio, and redshift. 13075x
It utilizes the massive public database of the Millennium Simulation to track merger trees over a wide dynamic range in time and mass. This is highly influential in astrophysics for understanding
" The nearly universal merger rate of dark matter haloes in ΛCDM cosmology " Authors: Onsi Fakhouri and Chung-Pei Ma merger mass ratio
The authors found that the merger rate per unit redshift is nearly universal and independent of redshift, scaling simply with halo mass and mass ratio.
