Alaknanda as seen in different filters with JWST

Caption

Left panel: Image of Alaknanda in rest-frame near-ultraviolet filters. The star-forming regions in the spiral arms form a beads-on-a-string pattern, characteristic of UV emission from massive stars in star-forming regions. Right panel: Alaknanda as seen in rest-frame optical filters. The spiral arms are less prominent and the underlying disk is clearly seen.
