An embarrassment of riches indeed! Gorgeous spectrum of the Orion Bar with prominent emission from hydrocarbon molecules as seen by JWST. Kudos to the PDRs4All team! 🔭 arxiv.org/abs/2308.16733

Emission versus wavelength from 3 to 20 microns of the Orion Bar as seen by JWST. Emission features from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are highlighted in red.

One of the many notable things about this spectrum is that it includes the shortest (3.3 micron) and longest (17 micron) known PAH features. Made possible by the broad wavelength coverage of JWST.
