The abundance of satellites around Milky Way- and M31-like galaxies with the TNG50 simulation: a matter of diversity

The abundance of satellites around Milky Way- and M31-like galaxies with the TNG50 simulation: a matter of diversity

We study the abundance of satellite galaxies around 198 Milky Way- (MW) and M31-like hosts in TNG50, the final installment in the IllustrisTNG suite of cosmological magnetohydrodynamical simulations. MW/M31-like analogues are defined as discy galaxies with stellar masses of $M_* = 10^{10.5 - 11.2}~\...
