Caption: Figure 4.

The five HST data sets used to decompose the host and afterglow light. Each panel row corresponds to a different filter with HST images of the GRB 221009A field on the left, the best-fit GALFITM models in the middle, and the residual maps on the right. Panels are centered on best-fit host positions and oriented with north pointing up and east pointing to the left. A common color scale is considered for a given row. The UVIS (left part) and IR (right part) filters correspond to a square region of 6″ and 12″, respectively. The fraction of pixels with a residual larger than 3σ within a constant 1″ aperture radius is shown in the lower part of the residual map.
