Analysis of the continuum and H₂ 2.12 μm in F212N and F210M calculated from the NIRSpec spectra. Top: Maps of continuum fraction in F212N and F210M (left two panels) and H₂ 2.12 μm (right two panels). Middle left: Cumulative histograms of the continuum and line fractions in top panels. Middle right: Template spectra in the range covered by F212N. Bottom: Correlation between the synthetic images (left: F212N, middle: F212N–F210M, right: the best fit with Eq. 5) and the measured H₂ 2.12 μm line intensities. In the bottom middle panels (F212N–F210M), positions closer to the IF (including the templates of H II region, Atomic PDR and DR1) give negative values, therefore not shown. Symbols, lines, and plot types are the same as in Fig. 4. See Sect. 4.3.3 for details.
