We report the discovery of two ultra-faint satellites in the vicinity of the Large Magellanic Cloud ( LMC ) in data from the Magellanic Satellites Survey ( MagLiteS ) .
Situated 18 ^ { \circ } ( \sim 20 kpc ) from the LMC and separated from each other by only 18 \arcmin , Carina II and III form an intriguing pair .
By simultaneously modeling the spatial and the color-magnitude stellar distributions , we find that both Carina II and Carina III are likely dwarf galaxies , although this is less clear for Carina III .
There are in fact several obvious differences between the two satellites .
While both are well described by an old and metal poor population , Carina II is located at \sim 36 kpc from the Sun , with M _ { V } \sim - 4.5 and r _ { h } \sim 90 pc , and it is further confirmed by the discovery of 3 RR Lyrae at the right distance .
In contrast , Carina III is much more elongated , measured to be fainter ( M _ { V } \sim - 2.4 ) , significantly more compact ( r _ { h } \sim 30 pc ) , and closer to the Sun , at \sim 28 kpc , placing it only 8 kpc away from Car II .
Together with several other systems detected by the Dark Energy Camera , Carina II and III form a strongly anisotropic cloud of satellites in the vicinity of the Magellanic Clouds .
