<strong>The</strong> Fate <strong>of</strong> Disrupted Satellite Galaxies<br />
un-evolved<br />
surviving satellites<br />
non-survivors<br />
centrals<br />
Satellite disruption is important ingredient for galaxy formation.<br />
(see also Monaco et al. 2006 & Conroy et al. 2007)<br />
In massive haloes, the stellar mass in non-surviving satellites is<br />
several times larger than stellar mass <strong>of</strong> central galaxy.<br />
Consequently, most <strong>of</strong> the non-surviving satellites have to be disrupted,<br />
giving rise to a significant stellar halo.<br />
