Survey area of ≈330 square degrees in the M 101 group region. The black triangles are confirmed dwarf galaxies with distances in the M 101 group complex. The small black dots are members based on their photometric properties, compiled from the Local Volume Catalog (Karachentsev et al. 2004, 2013). The large black dots are the major galaxies that define the three subgroup centers in the region: M 101 (14h03m12.5s + 54d20m56s), M 51 (13h29m52.7s + 47d11m43s), and M 63 (13h15m49.3s +42d01m45s). The red dots indicate the positions of our 15 new dwarf candidates. Open circles are confirmed foreground (<5 Mpc) galaxies taken from the LV Catalog. The footprint of the Dragonfly survey around M 101 is outlined by the rectangle. The circles indicate the virial radii of ≈260 kpc (for M 101; Merritt et al. 2014) for the three major galaxies (assuming the same virial radius for M 51 and M 63 as for M 101).
