Researchers used #JWST’s IFU to study the water around Saturn’s moon Enceledus. The IFU (Integral Field Unit) is a combination camera and spectrograph, which captures a spectrum of each pixel in an image.
They detected many lines of water from the torus around Enceladus and the plume itself. In this diagram, white lines are the data from Webb, and the best-fit models for water emission are overlaid in different colors–purple for the plume, green for the moon, and red for the surrounding torus.
