Thus, by this definition, the only star-forming, gas-rich satellites in the LG are: LMC ($\mstar=1.5\times10^9\msun$, $\mgas/\mstar\approx0.3$) and SMC ($\mstar=4.6\times10^8\msun$, $\mgas/\mstar\sim1$) around the MW, and LGS 3 ($\mstar=9.6\times10^5\msun$, $\mgas/\mstar\approx0.4$) and IC 10 ($\mstar=9\times10^7$, $\mgas/\mstar\approx0.6$) around M31.  %(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?)  KaisinKarachentsev2013,2014 for Halpha upper limits on satellites of M31.
