We show fractions for all such satellites (blue circles) as well as separately for those in the MW (violet squares) and M31 (green triangles) halos.
The error bars show 68\% uncertainty for a beta distribution \citep{Cameron2011} based on the counts in each bin.
Of the 56 satellites, only 4 (7\%) are star-forming/gas-rich: the LMC and SMC around the MW, LGS 3 and IC 10 around M31.
Moreover, at $\mstar<8\times10^7\msun$, only 1 (LGS 3) of the 51 satellites
are is star-forming, and at $\mstar<9\times10^5\msun$ \emph{all} 40 satellites are quiescent.
These near-unity quiescent fractions for satellite dwarfs in the LG contrast strongly with the effectively \emph{zero} quiescent fraction for dwarf galaxies that are isolated ($>1500\kpc$ from a more massive host) \citep{Geha2012, Phillips2014} and thus are not/were never satellites.
The only known exception is KKR 25, a quiescent dwarf spheroidal with $\mstar=1.4\times10^6\msun$ that is $1853\kpc$ from M31.
