Peg 3], Draco 2 and Sagittarius 2 [@Laevens2015 Dra 2 and Sag 2] and Crater 2 [@Torrealba2016 Cra 2]. Table \[tab:prob\] lists all the “new dwarfs” considered in what follows (i.e., black stars in Fig. \[fig:aitoff\]). With the exception of Hy II, Cra 2 and Dra 2, all other dwarfs are in the region of the sky occupied by the trailing arm of the stream.

Fig. \[fig:aitoff\] shows that position on the sky and distance provide on their own powerful constraints on a potential Magellanic origin for a dwarf. Those satellites must be close to the orbital plane (traced by the debris and the Magellanic Stream), ruling out satellites like Sagittarius, Hercules, and Seg 2. In addition, the farther a satellite is from the LMC the larger, on average, its Galactocentric distance should be, a fact that rules out many of the satellites in the Galactic northern cap. Indeed, the latter are typically much closer to the Galactic centre than the leading arm of the LMCa debris, which reaches a distance of $\sim 180$ kpc at $b=+45^\circ$.

Fig. \[fig:aitoff\_box\] zooms in on the vicinity of the LMC (the region highlighted by the magenta box in Fig. \[fig:aitoff\]) and shows in
