Indus I

Indus I

Indus I, also referred to as Kim 2, is characterized as one of the dimmest and most compact dwarf satellites. While the object has been suggested as a globular cluster, it appears fainter and more spread out compared to numerous other outer halo clusters such as AM 1, Eridanus, Pal 3, Pal 4, and Pal 14. Positioned approximately 37 kpc from the Small Magellanic Cloud, about 55 kpc from the Large Magellanic Cloud, and around 69 kpc from the notably more massive Milky Way, it is more plausibly considered a satellite of the Milky Way rather than the Magellanic Clouds.
