By "in the milky way" I mean any star that rotates around the center of the milky way. Among (stars of) satellite galaxies of milky-way, the confirmed galaxies that are rotating around milky-way exclusively are included. </p>

Define "in the Milky Way".

I'm not an expert, but I think this would be very difficult to answer. Any assessment would have to define where the boundary of the galaxy lies. Multiple papers might have multiple different boundaries. Most stars in the universe could be farthest from the plane, do you mean inside the galaxy and farthest from the plane? Also, this question is probably better fit for SE Astronomy.

@BMFForMonica Yes. I mean inside the galaxy.

@RussellBorogove Any star that rotates around the center of the milky way is "in the milky way".

What Rob said. The earlier version was already difficult: large parts of the Milky Way are unobservable, and spotting stray stars on its fringes and determining their exact 3D location is very hard. But it's even worse now that you're including satellite galaxies.

@PM2Ring I understand Rob comments better after your explanations.
