ELVIS contains 48 dark-matter halos of masses similar to the MW or M31 ($\mvir = 1.0 - 2.8 \times 10 ^ {12} \msun$).
Half of these halos are located in zoom-in regions that were selected to contain a pair of halos that resemble the masses, distance, and relative velocity of the MW-M31 pair, while the other half are single isolated halos matched in masses to the paired ones.
Here, we We use all halos,

ELVIS identifies dark-matter (sub)halos using the six-dimensional halo finder \textsc{rockstar} \citep{Behroozi2013a} and constructs merger trees using the \textsc{consistent-trees} algorithm \citep{Behroozi2013b}.
For each halo that is not a subhalo (see below), we assign a virial mass, $\mvir$, and radius, $\rvir$, using the evolution of the virial relation from \citet{BryanNorman1998} for our $\Lambda$CDM cosmology.
