Caption: Figure 3.

F1130W image of MZS-1. The fainter emission in this band compared to the other MIRI filters allows for a clearer view of the morphology. Flux contours are overlaid at levels exceeding 10σ above the background flux, following a Gaussian scaling over the image smoothed using a 2 × 2 box kernel. The several flux peaks (named MZS-1-“a,” “b,” “c,” “d,” “e,” “f”) are potentially associated with six distinct protostellar sources in MZS-1.
