Local Group rest frame
E1324768
UNEXPLORED
The Local Group rest frame is a reference frame in which the average motion of the galaxies in the Local Group is at rest, commonly used in extragalactic astronomy to measure galaxy velocities and distances.

How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T18443257 — 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.

-
A.
Local Group galaxies
Local Group galaxies are the collection of more than 50 gravitationally bound galaxies, including the Milky Way and Andromeda, that form our immediate cosmic neighborhood.
-
B.
Local Group dwarf galaxies
Local Group dwarf galaxies are small, low-luminosity satellite galaxies gravitationally bound within the Local Group, typically orbiting larger galaxies like the Milky Way and Andromeda.
-
C.
Local Group barycenter
The Local Group barycenter is the common center of mass around which all the galaxies in the Local Group, including the Milky Way and Andromeda, gravitationally orbit.
-
D.
Andromeda subgroup
The Andromeda subgroup is the collection of galaxies gravitationally bound to and dominated by the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) within the Local Group.
-
E.
Local Group
The Local Group is a small galaxy cluster containing the Milky Way, Andromeda, and dozens of smaller galaxies bound together by gravity in our cosmic neighborhood.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
