Target entity: Local Group outskirts Context triple: [Phoenix Dwarf, belongsTo, Local Group outskirts]
-
A.
Local Group vicinity
The Local Group vicinity is the region of space surrounding the Local Group of galaxies, encompassing nearby galaxy groups and large-scale structures in its immediate cosmic neighborhood.
-
B.
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.
-
C.
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.
-
D.
Local Group rest frame
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.
-
E.
Local Spiral Arm
The Local Spiral Arm, also known as the Orion Arm, is a minor spiral structure of the Milky Way Galaxy where our Solar System and many nearby stars and nebulae are located.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
