Beyond Ultra-diffuse Galaxies. II. Environmental Quenching of Mass–Size Outliers among the Satellites of Milky Way Analogs

Recent observations have reignited interest in a population of dwarf galaxies that are large and diffuse for their mass, often called ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). However, the origin and evolution of these mass–size outliers and the role of the environment are still unclear. Using the exquisitely...
