JWST NIRCam Observations of SN 1987A: Spitzer Comparison and Spectral Decomposition

JWST Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) observations at 1.5–4.5 μ m have provided broadband and narrowband imaging of the evolving remnant of SN 1987A with unparalleled sensitivity and spatial resolution. Comparing with previous marginally spatially resolved Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) observati...
