Distribution of the possible orbital poles of Leo VI and the other possible members of the Crater-Leo infall group. The position of the orbital pole of Leo VI is consistent with the possible group orbital pole of the Crater-Leo group (Leo II, Leo IV, Leo V, and Crater) at (αJ2000, δJ2000) ∼ (210°, −24°), while the position of the orbital pole of Crater II is inconsistent with the group orbital pole.
