protoplanetary disk 114–426 Archives

Left: color composite image of 114–426 using the F115W and F140M (both blue), F162M (green), F182M (yellow–green), and F277W (red) bands. Each of the four SW channel images (F115W, F140M, F162M, and F182M) were interpolated onto a 3 × 3 pixel subgrid (i.e., roughly 10 mas pixel−1) to allow precise alignment, and the LW channel image (F277W) was resampled to match. Right: an image of 114–426 in the F187N band, again interpolated onto a 3 × 3 pixel subgrid, showing the silhouette disk in maximum contrast against the Paα line. Each panel is 35 × 35 with north up and east left. The intensity of each image was scaled logarithmically to compress the dynamic range and enhance fainter details. -- The Astrophysical Journal

We examine images of the protoplanetary disk 114–426 with JWST/NIRCam in 12 bands. This large disk is oriented edge on with a dark midplane flanked by lobes of scattered light.
