Three-color composite highlighting distinct star formation and interstellar medium (ISM) tracers in NGC 1427A: IRAC 8 μm (red; stellar-continuum subtracted), MUSE Hα (green), and UVIT FUV (blue). All images are PSF-matched to a common 2″ FWHM Gaussian. In the main body, 8 μm emission envelopes Hα knots as expected for dusty H II regions; the northern clump shows clear 8 μm emission, with faint bridge-like 8 μm connecting to the main body. By contrast, several high-surface-brightness Hα clouds at the leading edge (toward the Fornax cluster center) exhibit little or no 8 μm, indicating ionized gas with weak co-spatial aromatic and small-grain emission. We also note extended FUV emission to the northeast with weak Hα counterparts, consistent with ~50–100 Myr populations after ionizing stars have faded. See Section 2 and Appendix C for details.
