Image Details
Caption: Figure 1.
Stephan’s Quintet, as imaged by the James Webb Space Telescope (Image credit: NASA, ESA, Canadian Space Agency (CSA), and STScI. Created with data from JWST Early Release Observations 2732, PI: Pontoppidan) with NIRCam F090W, F150W, F200W, F277W, F365W, and F444W filters and MIRI F770W and F1000W filters). Cluster members and systemic redshift velocities provided by the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) are labeled. The bridge, a key feature seen later in the kinematic plots (Figure 7), is also labeled. The curved, shocked ridge of ionized gas between NGC 7319 and NGC 7318B is also clearly evident. Scale provided in the image is for NGC 7319.
