About the colours
This image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the WFC3 IR instrument. Several filters were used to sample various wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are: Blue: F125W (J) Orange: F160W (H)
About the data
The images were created from Hubble data from proposals: 12061 and 12062 (PI: S. Faber, University of California, Santa Cruz).
The science team includes: K. Schawinski, B. Simmons, C.M. Urry, and E. Glikman (Yale University) and E. Treister (Universidad de Concepcion, Casilla, Chile).
