For a project, I need to know the critical density value which is being used by the simulation to calculating M200 and R200 at z=0. I attempted to calculate it on my own using M200 and R200, but I obtained a value of approximately 4e-26 kg/m^3, which is about four times the approximate critical density which is accepted elsewhere. Is this figure correct?
Thank you!

Hi Ethan,
I get 1.27e11 msun/mpc^3 for the TNG cosmology, i.e. 8.6e-27 kg/m^3.
