| About The Data | |
| Data Description | The image was created from Hubble data from proposal : R. Sahai (Jet Propulsion Laboratory), M. Morris (UCLA), C.S. Contreras (CSIC/INTA), M. Claussen (Associated Universities, Inc.), and S. Salim (Indiana University). The science teams include: N. Wright, J. Drake, M. Guarcello, and L. Hora (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), J. Drew (University of Hertfordshire), R. Gutermuth (University of Massachusetts, Amherst), and K. Kraemer (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics/Boston College); and R. Sahai (Jet Propulsion Laboratory), M. Morris (UCLA), and M. Claussen (Associated Universities, Inc.). |
| Instrument | HST>ACS/WFC, and IPHAS>INT/WFC |
| Exposure Dates | July 22, 2006 |
| Filters | ACS/WFC: F606W (V) and F814W (I) INT/WFC: H-alpha |
| About The Image | |
| Color Info | Note: Hubble data of IRAS 20324+4057 have been combined with ground-based H-alpha observations taken in 2003 with the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) to create the composite image. This image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the ACS instrument and the Isaac Newton Telescope. Several filters were used to sample various wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: Cyan: H-alpha Blue: F606W (V) Orange: F814W (I) |
