Image of the studied region produced combining the K_s, H, and J bands in red, green, and blue, respectively. Sagittarius A* and the Arches and Quintuplet clusters are indicated by arrows. The black rectangle near the Arches cluster corresponds to a field with incomplete data. The white dashed contours indicate regions dominated by dark clouds. The cross-shaped region corresponds to a low completeness region due to crowding (the nuclear star cluster, NSC).
