Bell, E. F., D'Souza, R. A.: "Towards understanding the infall of the satellites onto nearby MW-mass galaxies with the help of their stellar haloes." Bulletin of the American Astronomical Society, Vol. 53, No. 6 , June 2021, https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2021AAS...23833102B/abstract
The stellar halo as well as the system of satellites of nearby Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxies both encode information about the accretion history of the galaxy. Recent progress in constraining the massive accretions (>1:10) experienced by the MW and the Andromeda galaxy (M31) offers an opportunity to understand their contributions to the dwarf galaxy population of the Local Group, as well as to help decipher the information encoded in the satellites of nearby MW-mass galaxies in the upcoming era of the James Webb and Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescopes, and the Vera Rubin Observatory…
