Sketch of the on-the-fly cluster-finding scheme, illustrating different situations in which RsvPs become inert or active relative to the FoF time steps. RsvPs older than their tdyn become active to form stars. The five rows represent the evolution of five distinct RsvPs, with each column indicating a particular simulation time step. Only those RsvPs that are activated before the next FoF time step, together with the newly formed stars whose ages are younger than τyoung, are included in the FoF cluster identification. See Section 3.3 for details.
