Both panels show shorter median quenching timescales for less massive satellites: $\sim5\gyr$ at $\mstar=10^{8-9}\msun$, $2-3\gyr$ at $\mstar=10^{7-8}\msun$, and less than $1.5\gyr$ at $\mstar<10^7\msun$, depending on the inclusion of group preprocessing.
Moreover, the median timescale for two of the lowest $\mstar$ bins is $0\gyr$ because 100\% of those satellites are quiescent, which implies that quenching must be extremely rapid after infall.
We
can next compare these statistically based quenching timescales to
infall times infall/quenching timescales directly measured for satellites of the MW.
The 3-D orbital velocity measured for the LMC/SMC strongly suggests that they are
experiencing on their first infall and passed inside $\rvir$ of the MW $\approx2\gyr$ ago \citep{Kallivayalil2013}.
Given that both remain star-forming, this places a
firm lower limit to their quenching timescale (gray triangle), which is consistent with our statistical timescales at
$\mstar=10^{8-9}\msun$. similar mass.
Similarly,
measurements of the 3-D orbital velocity
measured and star-formation history for Leo I ($\mstar=5.5\times10^6\msun$)
indicates indicate that it fell into the MW halo $\approx2.3\gyr$
ago, ago and
its measured star-formation history indicates that it quenched $\approx1\gyr$
ago, ago (near its $\approx90\kpc$ pericentric passage), implying a quenching timescale of $\approx1.3\gyr$
\citep{Sohn2013}, \citep[][gray pentagon]{Sohn2013}, again consistent with our results.
%(coincident with its pericentric passage at $\approx90\kpc$)
We also compare these timescales for satellites with $\mstar\lesssim10^9\msun$ within the MW/M31 halos with previous studies of more massive satellites within other host halos.
The red squares in Figure~\ref{fig:quench_times} show the timescales from \citet{Wheeler2014}, who used nearly identical methodology, combining the the galaxy catalog from \citet{Geha2012} with satellite infall times (including group preprocessing) from simulation.

simulation \citep{BoylanKolchin2009}
They examined satellites with $\mstar\approx10^{8.5}$ and $10^{9.5}\msun$ around hosts with $\mstar>2.5\times10^{10}\msun$, which they found likely spans $\mvir\approx10^{12.5-14}\msun$.
%$8.25<\log(\mstar/\msun)<8.75$ and $9.25<\log(\mstar/\msun)<9.65$
%\citet{Wheeler2014} defined the infall time of a satellite as the first time that it became a satellite, so their definition include group preprocessing, with the caveat that if a satellite orbits beyond its host, as defined by the FoF group, becoming a backsplash/ejected satellite, and then falls back into a host again, they include only the latter infall time.
These are much higher masses than the MW/M31, which could mean that the quenching timescales in \citet{Wheeler2014} are \emph{shorter} than for similar mass satellites of MW/M31-like hosts.
Similarly, the green curves in Figure~\ref{fig:quench_times} show the quenching timescales for more massive satellites from \citet{Wetzel2013}, who also used identical methodology, combining galaxy groups from SDSS \citep{Tinker2011, Wetzel2012} with satellite infall times (including group preprocessing) measured in mock group catalogs in their cosmological simulation.
We show their result for groups with $\mvir=10^{12-13}\msun$, which are most similar to MW/M31 masses.
Summarize overlapping mass ranges and overall trends... Combination our results with these works suggests a complex dependence of environmental quenching timescales on satellite $\mstar$.
Specifically, our results alone suggest that the quenching timescale in the MW/M31 halos increases with satellite mass, from $\lesssim1\gyr$ at $\mstar<10^7\msun$ to $\sim5\gyr$ at $\mstar\approx10^{8.5}\msun$.
However, the results of \citet{Wheeler2014} imply a doubling of the timescale to $\approx9.5\gyr$ at just higher $\mstar$, though the find no dependence in their sample from $\mstar\approx10^{8.5}$ to $10^{9.5}\msun$.
This suggests some tension with the satellite of the MW/M31.
Finally, the results of \citet{Wetzel2013}...
