Catalog Service: Satellites orbiting isolated galaxies
Description
Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), we probe the halo mass distribution by studying the velocities of satellites orbiting isolated galaxies. In a subsample that covers 2500{deg}^2^ on the sky, we detect about 3000 satellites with absolute blue magnitudes going down to M_B_=-14; most of the satellites have M_B_=-16 to -18, comparable to the magnitudes of M32 and the Magellanic Clouds.
