A recreation of Figure 13 from A21, which shows the H I-to-stellar mass ratio as a function of normalized distance from the parent galaxy for simulated dwarf satellite galaxies associated with Milky Way analogs. We have added the dwarf galaxy candidates we found that are associated with the UCHVCs AGC 268071 and AGC 249525. Blue points represent galaxies in the Sandra simulation, while orange points represent galaxies in the Elena simulation. Note that many of the galaxies in the simulations do not have H I gas and therefore are not plotted. For AGC 268071 and AGC 249525 (points with large error bars), we plot the average of the bright and faint magnitude estimates and use both estimates to set the uncertainty. The distance uncertainty for these two objects is determined by the distance range over which we detect them (see Table 3).
