Regarding MergerTree() parameters.

Dear all,
I would like to get few clarification on yt.analysis_modules.halo_merger_tree.merger_tree.MergerTree()
1) MergerTree() has a parameter halo_finder_threshold. Does this something synonym to virial overdensity(like M200 or R200 ) ? 2) FOF_link_length parameter for halo_finder_function = FOFHaloFinder. The default value is 0.2. My doubt is, 0.2 is in which unit ? Is it in code unit or Mpc ?
And also halo_finder_function = HaloFinder and halo_finder_function = FOFHaloFinder are giving entirely different value for the Group Mass in the MergerHalo.out (a difference of more than one order of magnitude)
thank you.

Hi Reju,
It looks like you're trying to use the merger tree code from yt-2.x, which is no longer supported in yt-3. Instead, I recommend looking into the ytree code, which is a new merger tree code that is based on yt. More information is available here: http://ytree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
If you have any questions about it, feel free to use this list.
