Abstract
Using the publicly available Quijote simulations, we present the first measurements of the assembly bias of dark matter halos in N-body simulations which include massive neutrinos. We focus on the dependence of the linear bias b_1 on three halo properties: 1) concentration c, 2) spin λ, and 3) ellipticity s. Although these simulations cover a large volume, superior to any future surveys, we do not detect any effect of neutrinos on the relations b1(c), b1(λ) and b1(s) at fixed halo mass. We further study the dependence of halo properties and environment on neutrinos, finding these quantities to be impacted by neutrino masses at the same level as assembly bias. We find that the effect of neutrinos on spin and shape can be largely attributed to the change in the cold dark matter σ8 in neutrinos simulations, which is not the case for concentration.
