HOPHaloFinder threshold units #269

Hi,
I was only wondering the units of the threshold parameter in the HOPHaloFinder class. Since we have to provide units in mass and distances before, I was unsure if the units were kept as they were or if any conversion was done before applying this threshold.

In other words, when defining my HaloCatalog, if I say Mass units are mass_unit=1.* yt.units.Msun and Distances units are kpc (so length_unit=1e3*yt.units.parsec),
does that mean the default threshold (160 according to the doc) will be in Msun / kpc or converted in, idk, more 'usual' units like Msun / pc.

The second option seems quite unlikely to me, but I had to be sure for my analysis.
Thanks
