TEMPLATES: Characterization of a Merger in the Dusty Lensing SPT0418-47 System


Images of SPT0418-47 in all 13 NIRCam and MIRI passbands ranging from 1.15µm – 21µm. These images illustrate the contrast as a function of wavelength between the foreground lens, SPT0418A, and SPT0418B. Specific locations of SPT0418B are shown in Figure 2. The images are displayed with square-root scaling. The minimum value of the flux density scale is set to 0.1 MJy/sr below sky; the maximum in each frame is 2 MJy/sr above the sky level. A 1'' scale bar is included in the upper left panel.
