Image Details
Caption: Figure 1.
Multiwavelength observations of the central galaxy in A402. Left: three-color image of the cluster core based on data from HST and JWST (north is up, east is left). Upper right: zoom-in of the inner 2″ × 2″ of the central galaxy in A402. This zoomed image reveals a 0﹩\mathop{.}\limits^{\unicode{x02033}}﹩25 wide cavity in surface brightness, as well as a bright point source on the western edge of the depression. Lower right: images of the inner region of the central galaxy in five different filters at four different epochs. The point source (depicted with a white pointer in all panels) is brightest in the redder JWST band, where the combination of the bright point source and degraded PSF obscures the presence of any cavity.
