JWST observations of the Ring Nebula (NGC 6720): I. Imaging of the rings, globules, and arcs


Locations of globules plotted in Figure 7 indicated by white boxes. The green boxes show the region where the northern spectra were taken. These spectra were used for filter transmission curves (Figs. C1 and C2 and C2) and contributions of lines into the filters Table 1. The smaller green box is for NIRSpec and the larger green box is for MIRI/MRS, both representing the smallest FoVs (fields of view) of these two instruments, as their FoVs have wavelength dependence.
