Systematically Measuring Ultradiffuse Galaxies (SMUDGes). IV. Ultradiffuse Satellites of Milky Way Analogs

To better understand the formation of large, low-surface-brightness galaxies, we measure the correlation function between ultradiffuse galaxy (UDG) candidates and Milky Way analogs (MWAs). We find that: (1) the projected radial distribution of UDG satellites (projected surface density ∝ r ^−0.84±0.0...
