Abstract
We use the shear catalogue from the CFHT Stripe-82 Survey to measure the subhalo masses of satellite galaxies in redMaPPer clusters. Assuming a Chabrier initial mass function and a truncated NFW model for the subhalo mass distribution, we find that the subhalo mass to galaxy stellar mass ratio increases as a function of projected halo-centric radius rp, from Msub/Mstar = 4.43-2.23+6.63 at rp ∈ [0.1, 0.3] h-1 Mpc to Msub/Mstar= 75.40-19.09+19.73 at rp ∈ [0.6, 0.9] h-1 Mpc. We also investigate the dependence of subhalo masses on stellar mass by splitting satellite galaxies into two stellar mass bins: 10 < log (Mstar/h-1 M⊙) < 10.5 and 11 < log (Mstar/h-1 M⊙) < 12. The best-fitting subhalo mass of the more massive satellite galaxy bin is larger than that of the less massive satellites: log (Msub/h-1 M⊙ = 11.14-0.73+0.66 (Msub/Mstar = 19.5-17.9+19.8 versus log (Msub/h-1 M⊙ = 12.38-0.16+0.16 (Msub/Mstar = 21.1-7.7+7.4).
