You can get started by \textbf{double clicking} this text block In the Local Group, almost all satellite dwarf galaxies that are within the virial radius of the Milky Way (MW) and

We examine the virial-infall histories of satellites with $\mstar=10^{3-9} \msun$ using the ELVIS suite of cosmological zoom-in dissipationless simulations of 48 MW/M31-like halos.
Satellites at $z=0$ fell into the MW/M31 halos typically $5-8 \gyr$ ago at $z=0.5-1$.
However, they first fell into any host halo typically $7-10 \gyr$ ago at $z=0.7-1.5$.
This difference arises because many satellites experienced ``group preprocessing'' in another host halo, typically of $\mvir \sim 10^{10-12} \msun$, before falling into the MW/M31 halos.
Satellites with lower-mass and/or those closer to the MW/M31 fell in earlier and are more likely to have experienced group preprocessing; half of all satellites with $\mstar<10^6 \msun$ were preprocessed in a group.
Infalling groups also drive most satellite-satellite mergers within the MW/M31 halos.
Finally, \emph{none} of the surviving satellites at $z=0$ were within the virial radius of their MW/M31 halo during reionization ($z>6$), and only $<4\%$ were satellites of any other host halo during reionization.
Thus, effects of cosmic reionization versus host-halo environment on the formation histories of surviving dwarf galaxies in the Local Group occurred at distinct epochs and
