(While Sculptor has $\mgas / \mstar \approx 0.096$, we consider it quiescent based on its morphology and lack of recent star formation \citep{Weisz2014a}).
(Dan or Erik - can you say something about comparing these cuts with either SFR metrics or SFHs? Specifically, I am glossing over any ambiguous systems?)
In
examining measuring the fraction of satellites that are quiescent, we group them into 1-dex bins of $\mstar$.
We do not attempt any correction for observational completeness as a function of $\mstar$,
because we measure the \emph{relative fraction} that are quiescent in each $\mstar$ bin, which should be unbiased, absent significant differential completeness as a function of recent star formation.
We consider the latter unlikely because star-forming galaxies are generally brighter, but
the quiescent fraction is near unity across our range in $\mstar$.
However, we do take into account the maximum observed distance
of satellites at each $\mstar$
bin when we
measuring compute the virial-infall times using the simulations (see below).
