JWST synthetic NIR observations (see Section 4) around a relatively high-mass star (located at the center of the map) in a 6400 × 6400 au frame. The title lists the sink particle number and direction of projection, the age, the mass, the luminosity and the accretion rate. The top row shows, in log scale the surface brightness in the two selected wavelengths (left and central images respectively, with the JWST filter as a label), and the local column density integrated across the 12 800 au depth of the selected volume (right image, with minimum and maximum log value of the color scale as a label). The contours (white, red, and yellow) are 5σ limits for 2, 8 and 50 min exposure time, respectively (the column density image shows the F277W contours). The bottom row shows the corresponding surface brightness images after the ring subtraction described in the text (the column density map is the same as in the upper row). Negative and zero pixel values are masked out (white background). Contours show the 5-sigma limits of the remaining surface brightness, after the ring subtraction.
