ID-MAGE II: The Star Forming Satellites of Low-Mass Hosts
Researchers followed up satellite candidates from an ID-MAGE survey using spectroscopic observations to confirm their nature. They found six probable satellite galaxies and 77 background galaxies, proving spectroscopic follow-up is effective for separation. This refined sample updated estimates to 1.7 satellites per LMC/SMC host and showed low-mass environments significantly impact satellite evolution.
