a) 870-μm view of G338.3−0.0 taken from the ATLASGAL. The source AGAL338.307+00.006 is outlined by white contours. From b) to d): far-IR emission in the field of G338.3−0.0 at 24 μm from Spitzer, and at 160 and 250 μm from Herschel, respectively. The 4.3 mJy beam^-1 green contour level from the 610 MHz image is included on each panel to facilitate the comparison between the submillimeter and IR emission with total power radio features.
