NER Named-entity recognition gpt-5-mini
Instruction
Given a phrase, classify it is english named entity (e.g., persons, organizations, works of art) in Latin script, or not (e.g., literals, dates, URLs, verbose phrases). For disambiguation, the statement where the phrase occurs as object is also given. Please return a JSON object with `phrase` (string, the phrase being analyzed) and `is_ne` (boolean, indicating whether the phrase is a Named Entity).
Input
Phrase: Strömgren sphere | Statement: [H II region, relatedTo, Strömgren sphere]
NED1 Entity disambiguation (via context triple) gpt-5-mini-2025-08-07
Target entity: Strömgren sphere
Context triple: [H II region, relatedTo, Strömgren sphere]
  • A. Milne–Eddington approximation
    The Milne–Eddington approximation is a simplified model of stellar atmospheres that assumes constant physical properties with depth to make the radiative transfer equations analytically tractable.
  • B. Eddington limit
    The Eddington limit is the maximum luminosity a star or accreting object can have before radiation pressure overcomes gravity and drives away its outer layers.
  • C. Rosseland
    Rosseland is a Norwegian surname most notably associated with astrophysicist Svein Rosseland, a pioneer in theoretical astrophysics and radiative transfer.
  • D. Bonnor–Ebert mass
    The Bonnor–Ebert mass is the maximum mass a pressure-confined, self-gravitating gas sphere can have while remaining in stable hydrostatic equilibrium before collapsing under its own gravity.
  • E. Schwarzschild criterion
    The Schwarzschild criterion is a condition in astrophysics that determines when a star’s interior becomes convectively unstable, leading to energy transport by bulk motion of stellar material.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
