Abstract
We explore the dependence of the radial alignment of subhalos on the mass of the host halo they orbit in. We have 25 well resolved host dark matter halos at our disposal ranging from $10^~h^~{M_{\odot}}$ down to $10^h^~{M_{\odot}}$ . We note that the radial alignment is independent of host halo mass and the distribution of $\cos\theta$ is well fitted by a simple power law $P(\cos\theta) \propto \cos^4\theta$ .
