Sagittarius II

Sagittarius II, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, is situated in the constellation Sagittarius within the southern hemisphere of the sky. Initially discovered through extensive sky surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, this dwarf galaxy is characterized by its low luminosity and subtle structure. Like many dwarf galaxies, Sagittarius II is likely experiencing gravitational interactions with the Milky Way, leading to the distortion of its structure and the redistribution of its stellar populations. Scientific interest in Sagittarius II and its counterparts lies in their contribution to our understanding of galaxy formation, evolution, and the role of dark matter in the cosmic landscape.
