Weak Lensing Reveals a Tight Connection Between Dark Matter Halo Mass
  and the Distribution of Stellar Mass in Massive Galaxies
  Using deep images from the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey and taking
advantage of its unprecedented weak lensing capabilities, we reveal a
remarkably tight connection between the stellar mass distribution of massive
central galaxies and their host dark matter halo mass. Massive galaxies with
more extended stellar mass distributions tend to live in more massive dark
matter haloes. We explain this connection with a phenomenological model that
assumes, (1) a tight relation between the halo mass and the total stellar
content in the halo, (2) that the fraction of in-situ and ex-situ mass at
$r<10$ kpc depends on halo mass. This model provides an excellent description
of the stellar mass functions (SMF) of total stellar mass ($M_{\star}^{\rm
Max}$) and stellar mass within inner 10 kpc ($M_{\star}^{10}$) and also
reproduces the HSC weak lensing signals of massive galaxies with different
stellar mass distributions. The best-fit model shows that halo mass varies
significantly at fixed total stellar mass (as much as 0.4 dex) with a clear
dependence on $M_{\star}^{10}$. Our two-parameter $M_{\star}^{\rm
Max}$-$M_{\star}^{10}$ description provides a more accurate picture of the
galaxy-halo connection at the high-mass end than the simple stellar-halo mass
relation (SHMR) and opens a new window to connect the assembly history of halos
with those of central galaxies. The model also predicts that the ex-situ
component dominates the mass profiles of galaxies at $r< 10$ kpc for $\log
M_{\star} \ge 11.7$). The code used for this paper is available online:
