Distribution of the orbital poles for 58 dwarf galaxies around the MW in Galactic coordinates. The solid points represent the orbital poles from the MC realisations of each galaxy. The colour of the points indicates VPOS membership. Orange shows on-plane galaxies, blue shows off-plane galaxies, and grey shows uncertain membership. Empty circles mark the median orbital pole of each galaxy. Green crosses denote the VPOS normal vector direction as reported in Pawlowski & Kroupa (2013), green plus marker denotes the opposite direction, and green lines outline the region that covers 10% of the sky around them. The labels are abbreviated versions of the galaxy names. Each plot shows only the poles of galaxies within a specific galactocentric distance range for clarity.
