About this field
The most massive globular cluster in the Galaxy, and probably the stripped core of a dwarf galaxy. A brutal test of how the pipeline handles extreme stellar crowding.
Product status
A pre-flight simulation product. Generated on the ground to build and test the calibration pipeline before launch — useful for developing analysis code, but it is synthetic, not sky.
Exposure
Pointing
Band
Reaches past the H band for the highest-redshift sources.
Access
Roman products are distributed through MAST at STScI. Files follow the naming convention below; nothing is downloadable from this site.

All products in this field →The image above is procedurally generated. Source positions, colours and crowding are derived from the field's galactic latitude and character and from the band's pivot wavelength, and every exposure of a field draws the same sky so dithers line up — but none of it is data from the telescope.
