JWST/NIRSpec slit apertures compared with NIRCam morphology and ALMA dust continuum. The red and blue regions on both panels indicate the ZENITH (PRISM) and EMBER (PRISM+G395M) slit placements, respectively. Scale bars are included for reference, and ellipses represent the primary beam of the ALMA data overplotted as contours.

The high-resolution ALMA data (D. Iono et al. 2016) resolves compact clumps which overlap the F356W centroid.
