Abstract

Protocluster of galaxies are the best environment to study galaxy evolution and dark matter/baryonic mass assembly. We expect them to be an ensemble of dark matter halos that will merge to form a galaxy cluster (Overzier 2016). In this poster, we present some properties linked to the three most massive protocluster subhalos in our simulations, which can be used as a proxy to detect these systems in observations.
