Caption: Figure 6.
Dependence of the satellite-induced reflex motion effect on the adopted M31 PM. The color scale indicates the magnitude of such an effect, quantified as the difference in merger probability (fm) between the three-body and two-body configurations (three-body minus two-body). In the top panel, the additional satellite is the LMC, and in the bottom panel, it is M33. Symbol conventions follow those of Figure 5.
