Description:

Abstract: 

The SAGA Survey will spectroscopically identify satellite galaxies brighter than Mr = −12.3 around one hundred Milky Way analogs at z =0.01. I will present results from SAGA Stage II, where we have more than quadrupled the sample size of Stage I, finding 127 satellites around 36 Milky Way analogs. I will present results on the quenched fraction of satellites, luminosity functions, radial distributions and more, comparing these both to the Milky Way itself and predictions from simulation.
