Hi Dylan,

I was reading about BH seeding on Vogelsberger et al. 2013, and it says the following:

"We regularly run an FoF group finder and assign seed BHs to massive enough FoF groups (see Sijacki et al. 2007; Di Matteo et al. 2008 for details)."

In the context of TNG, what was the FoF mass considered for the seeding? GroupMass? Or some other mass (e.g. Group_M_Crit200)?

Yes GroupMass is the FoF halo mass, while Group_M_Crit200 is the M200c spherical overdensity quantity.
