Binary Massive Protostar IRAS 16547-4247 (IMAGE) National Institutes of Natural Sciences Caption Different colors show the different distributions of dust particles (yellow), methyl cyanide (CH3CN, red), salt (NaCl, green), and hot water vapor (H2O, blue). Bottom insets are the close-up views of each components. Dust and methyl cyanide are distributed widely around the binary, whereas salt and water vapor are concentrated in the disk around each protostar. In the wide-field image, the jets from one of the protostars, seen as several dots in the above image, are shown in light blue. Credit ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO), Tanaka et al.
