Caption: Figure 3.

Left: stellar masses at infall (M*,in) and the lookback time to infall for our full sample, using the same color scheme as Figure 1. Horizontal bars extending out to the time of disruption are shown for each disrupted satellite (open symbols). As in Figure 1, observations are indicated by pluses, Mint resolution simulated satellites are indicated by large circles, and satellites from the Near Mint (lower-resolution) runs are indicated by smaller symbols (Sandra and Elena in circles, Ruth and Sonia in triangles). Observed surviving satellites, shown as filled green pluses, have stellar masses derived from J. D. Simon (2019) as in Figure 1, and infall times from S. P. Fillingham et al. (2019). Data for disrupted galaxies (shown as empty green pluses) are from R. P. Naidu et al. (2022). Surviving satellites that retain <95% of the stars they accreted with at z = 0 are indicated in lower-opacity symbols. Right: similar to the left panel, now showing the maximum virial mass of the satellites instead of the stellar mass at infall.
