Lopsided Satellite Distributions around Isolated Host Galaxies in a ΛCDM Universe

A recent observational study found that the projected spatial distributions of the satellites of bright, isolated host galaxies tend to be lopsided with respect to the locations of the hosts. Here, we examine the spatial distributions of the satellites of a large number of bright, isolated host gala...
