Notes. The references for the discovery of the satellite pairs are: M96-DF6/dw1046+1244 (this work), LV J1157+5638/LV J1157+5638 sat (Makarova et al. 2018), Cen A-MM-dw1/Cen A-MM-dw2 (Crnojević et al. 2014), dw1252-40/dw1251-40 (Müller et al. 2017a), and dw1243-42b/dw1243-42 (Müller et al. 2017a). The two pairs at the bottom do not have distance estimates and are therefore uncertain satellite-of-satellite systems.
