Dwarf Cosmology with the Stromlo Missing Satellites Survey

Figure 1

The distribution of currently known Milky Way satellites out to the 250 kpc virial radius from the center of the Milky Way. The arrangement of the galaxies in a “Great Disk of Satellites" almost perpendicular to the Galactic plane is highlighted by the dotted line and the arbitrarily chosen ±15 degree band. Half of the sky will be searched for satellites by the SMS survey (area south of the celestial equator).
