The Interaction between AGN and Starburst Activity in the Circumnuclear Region of NGC 7469 as Viewed with JWST
Illustration of the MIRI/MRS coverage (white rectangle) of NGC 7469, with the NIRCam F335M image as background. The inset shows the distribution of 7.7 µm PAH emission to illustrate the circumnuclear starburst ring. The bright blob in the lower-left corner is part of the companion galaxy IC 5283.
