abstract = "We present an analysis of the counts-in-cells (CiC) statistics of
subhaloes in the publicly available IllustrisTNG cosmological
simulations (TNG100-1, TNG100-3, and TNG300-3), considering their
full and dark-only versions, in redshifts ranging from z = 0 to z
= 5, and different cell sizes. We evaluated two CiC models: the
gravitational quasi-equilibrium distribution (GQED) and the
negative binomial distribution (NBD), both presenting good fits,
with small detectable differences in the presence of baryons.
Scaling and time dependencies of the best-fitting parameters
showed similar trends compared with the literature. We derived a
matter density-in-cells probability distribution function (PDF),
associated with the GQED, which was compared to the PDF proposed
by Uhlemann et al., for the IllustrisTNG 100-3-Dark run at z = 0.
Our results indicate that the simplest gravithermodynamical
assumptions of the GQED model hold in the presence of baryonic
dissipation. Interestingly, the smoothed (density-in-cells)
version of the GQED is also adequate for describing the dark
matter one-point statistics of subhaloes and converges, to
subpercentage levels (for an interval of parameters), to the
Uhlemann et al. PDF in the high density range.",
