JWST observations of the Ring Nebula (NGC 6720): I. Imaging of the rings, globules, and arcs
(Right) Density snapshot of a hydrodynamic simulation for the Ring Nebula (right top) and the Southern Ring Nebula (right bottom). The hydrodynamic model for the Southern Ring Nebula is taken from De Marco et al. (2022). (Left) JWST images of the Ring Nebula (top left; F770W) and the Southern Ring Nebula (bottom left; F212N), highlighting the spikes and clumps. The Southern Ring Nebula has evolved faster, and has more fully developed spikes and clumps.
