How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T13062155 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.
Target entity: Bondi mass Context triple: [Hermann Bondi, notableWork, Bondi mass]
-
A.
Bondi–Metzner–Sachs symmetry
Bondi–Metzner–Sachs symmetry is an infinite-dimensional group of asymptotic spacetime symmetries in general relativity that characterizes the gravitational field at null infinity, especially in the context of gravitational radiation.
-
B.
Gibbons–Hawking–York boundary term
The Gibbons–Hawking–York boundary term is an additional term in the gravitational action of general relativity that ensures a well-defined variational principle in spacetimes with boundaries.
-
C.
Reissner–Nordström metric
The Reissner–Nordström metric is an exact solution in general relativity describing the spacetime geometry outside a static, spherically symmetric, electrically charged black hole.
-
D.
Buchdahl bound
The Buchdahl bound is a theoretical limit in general relativity that constrains how compact a stable, spherically symmetric star can be before collapsing into a black hole.
-
E.
Schwarzschild radius
The Schwarzschild radius is the critical distance from the center of a non-rotating, spherically symmetric mass at which its escape velocity equals the speed of light, defining the boundary of a black hole.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
