Physical Evolution of Dark Matter Halo around the Depletion Boundary

We investigate the buildup of the halo profile out to large scale in a cosmological simulation, focusing on the roles played by the recently proposed depletion radii. We explicitly show that halo growth is accompanied by the depletion of the environment, with the inner depletion radius demarcating t...
