PRIMER | The transformational power of JWST imaging longward of ~ 2.5 micron Left: a 44 x 34 arcsec region of the deepest available Spitzer IRAC 3.6 micron imaging. Right: a prediction of how the same region will appear with the PRIMER NIRCam F356W imaging using the empirically based EGG simulations (Schreiber et al. 2017). These simulations predict that PRIMER will reveal ~ 120,000 galaxies, ~ 70% of which are new (i.e. undetected by HST or Spitzer)
