Webb's PEARLS: Transients in the MACS J0416.1-2403 Field


Transient identified in yet another arc. The top row shows the color images (4''.8 on a side) of this region in four epochs, where the red arrow in each image points to the knot that gave rise to the event. The second row zooms in to the arc and shows the Ep1 images (1''.2 on a side) in the eight bands. The next three rows show the difference images between other epochs and Ep1. The last row shows the photometric information. See Section 3.2.3 and the Appendix for the details of the photometry.
