On the co-rotation of Milky Way satellites: LMC-mass satellites induce apparent motions in outer halo tracers
Nicolas Garavito-Camargo, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Jenna Samuel +8
Understanding the physical mechanism behind the formation of a co-rotating thin plane of satellite galaxies, like the one observed around the Milky Way (MW), has been challenging.…

Orbital dynamics and histories of satellite galaxies around Milky Way-mass galaxies in the FIRE simulations
Isaiah B. Santistevan, Andrew Wetzel, Erik Tollerud +2
The orbits of satellite galaxies encode rich information about their histories. We investigate the orbital dynamics and histories of satellite galaxies around Milky Way (MW)-mass h…
