This study explores how satellite population properties depend on the morphology of their host galaxies, using data from the TNG50-1 simulation. By analyzing galaxies with distinct bulge-to-disk mass ratios, we uncover significant differences in satellite spatial distributions, luminosities, and orbital dynamics. Disk-dominated galaxies host fainter satellites that are more centrally concentrated and exhibit preferential orbital alignment with the host’s angular momentum. In contrast, bulge-dominated systems show a more isotropic and extended spatial distribution of satellites. These findings offer new insights into the relationship between galaxy morphology and satellite system evolution.
