Summary
[edit]
| Description |
STIS is Hubble's spectrograph. It usually doesn't make images*. Sometimes, though, it does, and I feel lucky when I find them, because they can really be quite good. The colors are cobbled together from a variety of sources other than STIS. Some from WFPC2, others from WFC3. Color data wasn't available for the whole frame, so the top corners are monochrome. Still looks pretty good. Even got some H-alpha data in there. There is a lot of dust in this nucleus, and apparently a lot of star formation going on. We can easily see the pink fluffs of clouds which are associated with the processes of star formation.
Data from the following proposals were utilized: archive.stsci.edu/proposal_search.php?mission=hst&id=... archive.stsci.edu/proposal_search.php?mission=hst&id=... archive.stsci.edu/proposal_search.php?mission=hst&id=... Color channels are generally: Red: F814W and F658N Green: F675W Blue: F555W Luminosity: Broadband optical light from STIS North is 140.3° clockwise from up. |
