Image Details
Caption: Figure 1.
The field of GRB 221009A as imaged for target acquisition for the JWST spectroscopy on October 21 (left), and later time observations with HST in the F098M/F125W and F160W filters (right). Only a short sequence was obtained for JWST, while the HST observations are substantially deeper. These observations clearly show the host galaxy of GRB 221009A extending to the NE and SW of the afterglow position.
