Shown in the background is the maximum-a-posteriori model of the surface brightness for the radio source associated with the Spiderweb galaxy obtained from the sparse-image reconstruction discussed in Methods. The white contours denote the radio emission as measured from the VLA X-band8,9 data (see also Fig. 3). To facilitate the comparison, we smoothed the sparse ALMA+ACA model to the same angular resolution as that of the VLA data. Except for a limited number of isolated and low-significance pixels, it is possible to observe a good agreement between the morphology of the reconstructed source and the VLA observation.
