Caption: Figure 2.

Relative photometry of the TW Hya disk from our JWST/NIRCam observations showing the ratio of the disk flux compared to that of the stellar photosphere. The green line represents the flux from the HPFRDI-processed images, which is a lower limit due to signal attenuation from the stellar-light subtraction process and the coronagraphic mask. The red line shows the result after applying a theoretical throughput recovery to the HPFRDI data. The blue line shows the flux from the final deconvolved images, which provides our best estimate of the disk’s brightness.
