Distribution of orbital poles in Galactic coordinates for the analysed sample of MW satellites. The median orbital poles are shown as open black circles, while the values of 5000 Monte Carlo realisations drawing on measurement uncertainties are shown as coloured dots. The colour scheme follows the division of our sample into on-plane (orange dots), off-plane (blue dots) and uncertain systems (grey dots) detailed in Sect. 2.
