Structure and Fragmentation Scale of a Massive Star-forming Filament in NGC 6334: High-resolution Mid-infrared Absorption Imaging with JWST

Dense filaments are believed to be representative of the initial conditions of star formation in molecular clouds. We have used the MIRI instrument on JWST to image the massive filament NGC 6334M at d  ∼ 1.3 kpc with unprecedented resolution and dynamic range at 7.7 and 25.5 μ m. Our observations re...
