Halo refers to a common area of research in astronomy that focuses on the outer regions of galaxies. These regions contain a wide variety of objects and structures, such as dark matter, globular clusters, stellar streams, and hot gases. Scientists study the halo to understand the formation and evolution of galaxies, as well as to investigate the distribution and properties of dark matter, which makes up a significant portion of the halo mass. Research in this area often involves observations using telescopes and computer simulations to model the dynamics of halo objects and their interactions with the rest of the galaxy.
