JWST/NIRCam Coronagraphy of the Young Planet-hosting Debris Disk AU Microscopii


For each filter (rows), the roll-averaged MCRDI final image (left), the best-fitting convolved model used as the constraint for MCRDI (middle), and the difference between the MCRDI result and the model image (right). The residuals use the same linear color stretch as the corresponding images to highlight that any differences are small compared to the total disk signal. A background source is visible in the lower left of the MCRDI images, at roughly (-1 '' , -3 '').
