How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T18198779 — 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.

B.
Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is a major astronomical project that has created some of the most detailed three-dimensional maps of the universe using wide-field imaging and spectroscopy.
-
C.
Dark Energy Survey
The Dark Energy Survey is a large international astronomical project that uses a wide-field camera on a Chilean telescope to map hundreds of millions of galaxies and study the nature of dark energy and cosmic acceleration.
-
D.
Carnegie-Spitzer-IMACS Survey
The Carnegie-Spitzer-IMACS Survey is an astronomical research project that combines infrared observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope with optical spectroscopy from the IMACS instrument to study the formation and evolution of galaxies across cosmic time.
-
E.
Advanced Camera for Surveys
The Advanced Camera for Surveys is a high-resolution imaging instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope designed to capture detailed observations of distant galaxies, galaxy clusters, and other faint astronomical objects.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
