Summary
[edit]DescriptionSimulated WFIRST Observation of Andromeda Galaxy with Pullouts (2020-02-4609).png |
English: Details of a simulated image of the Andromeda galaxy highlight the high resolution of WFIRST imagery. Unlike a typical wide field camera, which can cover a large area of sky but cannot reveal fine details, WFIRST will provide both a large field of view and high resolution. The details shown here each cover about 0.0013 square degrees of sky, the equivalent to a single infrared image from Hubble’s WFC3 camera. The pixel scale is 0.11 arcseconds/pixel. The pull-out detail on the left shows the diversity of populations in the disk. The bright blue stars are young, recently formed hot populations that tend to be in association, while the red stars are the old stars that are well-mixed throughout the disk. |
