Hubble Image of Galaxy Cluster RCS2 032727-132623 (Uncropped)
RCS2 032727-132623, RCSGA 032727-132609
z = 1.701 (background galaxy RCSGA 032727-132609) and z = 0.564 (foreground galaxy cluster RCS2 032727-132623)
The image was created from Hubble data from proposal 12267: J. Rigby (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) et al.
WFC3/UVIS: F390W (U), F606W (V), and F814W (I)
WFC3/IR: F098M (blue grism), F125W (J), F132N (Paschen β), and F160W (H)
This image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the WFC3 instrument on HST. Several filters were used to sample broad 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: F390W (U) + F606W (V)
Green: F814W (I)
Red: F098M (blue grism) + F125W (J) + F132N (Paschen β) + F160W (H)
