Webb's latest Phantom Galaxy image sheds light on stellar feedback
NASA just published a new picture of the Phantom Galaxy captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. This new image uses data from two instruments.
This combination allowed scientists from the Feedback in Emerging extrAgalactic Star clusTers (FEAST) team to observe the Phantom Galaxy’s nurseries. Combined data from Webb’s MIRI and NIRCam instruments allowed scientists to conclude that the spiral arms of the Phantom Galaxy are where stars are more actively forming in the celestial body. Thanks to NIRCam, the JWST can now also see hydrogen emission lines, which aren’t as affected by the dust and show where massive stars are newly formed.
