Composite images of the H II region G263.619-0.53. Left panel: three–colour image combining IRAC/Spitzer 3.6 μm (blue), 4.5 μm (green) and 8.0 μm (red) images. The inserted enlarged rectangle in the upper-right corner shows in white contours the location of the H₂ knots associated with the MHO 1502 jet. Right panel: combined IRAC-MIPS/Spitzer 4.5 μm (in blue), 8 μm (in green) and 24 μm (in red) images. The superimposed continuous red lines are the column density contours taken from Marsh et al. (2017). Column density levels are 5, 6, 7, 9, 15, 25, 35, 45 and 56 × 10²¹ cm⁻². The white contours indicate the location of the MHO 1502 jet. In both planes, the blue circle marks the position of the IRAS 08438-4340 exciting source.
