Secondary Dependence of Baryonic Effects on the Density Profile of Dark Matter Halos

The study investigated how baryonic effects on dark matter halo density profiles change based on secondary properties like concentration and large-scale environment at a fixed halo mass. Results show a strong dependence on concentration, particularly for lower-mass halos, while the environmental dependence is weak and scale-independent. This suggests that concentration significantly alters inner profile structure beyond simple mass scaling.
