Inner region of the Orion Nebula as seen by the JWST’s NIRCam instrument with north up and east left. This RGB composite image adapted from Habart et al. (2024) is produced by combining three images in different filters: F335M (red), F470N (green), and F187N (blue) that trace emission from hydrocarbons (AIBs), dust and molecular gas (H₂ 0–0 S(9) line), and ionized gas (Pa α line), respectively. The red box delineates regions of particular interest zoomed in and shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The perpendicular (NIRSpec) cut is shown in black (blue) dashed line. The white boxes indicate the apertures used to extract the three template spectra from Peeters et al. (2024).
