Abstract

We present significant evidence of halo assembly bias for SDSS redMaPPer galaxy clusters in the redshift range $[0.1, 0.33]$. By dividing the 8,648 clusters into two subsamples based on the average member galaxy separation from the cluster center, we first show that the two subsamples have very similar halo mass of $M_{\rm 200m}\simeq 1.9\times 10^{14}~h^{-1}M_\odot$ based on the weak lensing signals at small radii $R<br />Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, matched to the published version.
