Target entity: Milky Way satellite galaxies
Context triple: [Milky Way stellar halo, isEnvironmentOf, Milky Way satellite galaxies]
  • A. Milky Way stellar halo
    The Milky Way stellar halo is a vast, diffuse, roughly spherical population of old, metal-poor stars and dark matter that surrounds the Milky Way’s disk and bulge, extending far into its outer regions.
  • B. Milky Way globular cluster system
    The Milky Way globular cluster system is the population of ancient, densely packed star clusters that orbit the Milky Way’s halo and bulge, serving as key tracers of the galaxy’s formation and evolution.
  • C. Milky Way dark matter halo
    The Milky Way dark matter halo is the vast, roughly spherical, invisible mass of dark matter surrounding our galaxy that dominates its gravitational potential and governs the motions of its stars, gas, and satellite galaxies.
  • D. Milky Way subgroup
    The Milky Way subgroup is the collection of nearby galaxies gravitationally bound to and dominated by the Milky Way within the larger Local Group.
  • E. Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy
    The Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy is a nearby, faint irregular dwarf galaxy thought to be the closest known satellite galaxy to the Milky Way and currently being tidally disrupted by it.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
