JWST Galactic Center survey — sickle

6 withheld as bad astrometry. The pipeline repudiated the mosaics these were staged from -- the m2 astrometry checkpoint corrected the offsets table and quarantined every mosaic built before it: F187N, F210M, F335M, F470N, F480M, F770W. They will return when the field is re-staged from current products.

RGB preview - R=F1500W, G=mean(F1500W,F1130W), B=F1130W. Full-resolution images below.

Catalogs

No catalogs in this release. Photometry for these data is still being produced; when it is ready it will be added here under a new version.

Astrometric provenance

This release version does not ship a pointing-correction table. The field has one, but it was not staged with this version, so nothing here describes the solution these products were built on.

8 reference-tie measurement(s) exist for this field, and none is shown here: they are not attached to what this version ships — either the version carries no pointing-correction table, or the measurements postdate the release. A later version's page carries the ties that describe it.
