Dust temperature and opacity maps overlaid on the 12 μm WISE image at full angular resolution. The dust opacity at 353 GHz and the dust temperature, as derived from the analysis of Planck data, are shown with white contours for τ₃₅₃ = 2, 3, and 4 × 10⁻⁵ in and red contours for T_d = 20, 23, 26, and 29 K. Merope is marked with a star, the centers of the JWST images with a red square, Field 1 Cuts 1 and 2 with a blue plus sign, and Field 2 Cuts 1 and 2 with a purple circle and a green triangle. The pink box displays the location of the image of dust polarization angles presented in Fig. B.2.
