Description
I will report our recent development of the depletion radius, which is a new but fundamental halo boundary stemming from the macroscopic physics of halo growth. I will show that the depletion radius is both an important physical probe of halo evolution and a concise geometric boundary for halo models of the large scale structure, capable of overcoming major limitations of the classical halo in a systematic way. I will also present our observational measurements of the depletion radius for both our Milky Way halo and DESI galaxy groups.
