Compass and Scale Image of GRB 110328A's Host Galaxy
GRB 110328A
About 3.8 billion light-years or 920 megaparsecs (z=0.35)
The image is 23.6 arcseconds wide.
The image was created from Hubble data from proposal 12447: A. Fruchter (STScI), J. Bloom and S. Cenko (University of California, Berkeley), J. Graham (Johns Hopkins University), A. Levan (University of Warwick, UK), K. Misra (STScI), D. Perley (California Institute of Technology), and N. Tanvir and K. Wiersema (University of Leicester, UK).
F606W (wide V)
This image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the WFC3/UVIS instrument on HST. A single filter (F606W) was used to sample a broad wavelength range. Color has been applied to represent brightness, mapping data values into a range of hues from black through red, orange and yellow, to white.
