Best-fitting SEDs of JADES-GS-z7-LA and its companion source, fixing the redshift to be at z = 7.278 for both objects. We find that a good fit is obtained for the companion source at the same redshift as JADES-GS-z7-LA, which in particular can explain the photometric excess observed in the F410M band (dashed oval). Overall, JADES-GS-z7-LA has a ‘bluer’ SED, which is reflected in the preference for a bursty star formation history when compared to the companion source.
