| Abstract | Until recently, we have not been able to observe satellites orbiting the LMC but that all changed with GAIA DR2. Research into dwarf galaxy’s found satellites orbiting the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). However, the number of satellites around the LMC is still low. We want to find these missing satellites. We set out to build a model of the LMC moving toward first infall with the Milky Way using a semi-analytic model with H2 cooling to look where the satellites orbiting the LMC end up. Our work aims to reproduce an accurate LMC-MW model and find where these missing LMC satellites have ended up. Our results show that LMC mass does not affect the distribution of satellites in our model, but affects the number of satellites observable with current surveys. Additionally, we find the locations where these missing satellites are. |
