It appears that measurements have proven that the subjects are not
satellites, but small galaxies just passing by at great speed. They
have too much gas to be gravitationally attached.

There's a press release at http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2007/pr200722.html

Near the bottom of the release, there's a reference to the article
preprint: http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0703196

That should have the information you are seeking.
