Recently there has been a lot of attention focussed on a virializedhalo-based approach to understanding the properties of the matter and galaxypower spectrum. A key ingredient in this model is the number and distributionof galaxies within dark matter halos as a function of mass. This quantity hasbeen predicted from semi-analytic modeling and from fits to observational data.Here we present predictions for the occupation number and spatial distributionof sub-halos based on a high-resolution hydrodynamical simulation includingcooling, star-formation and feedback.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, matches version accepted by ApJ
