  The neighborhood of the Galactic black hole boasts a plethora of extended
interstellar gas and dust features as well as populations of compact
(unresolved, or marginally resolved) features such as the G objects. Most are
well manifested in the infrared. To disentangle and characterize the infrared
structure of extended features and identify compact sources, we used 3.8~$\mu$m
(L' filter) data from the NIRC2 imager at the Keck Observatory and 8.6~$\mu$m
(PAH1 filter) data from the VISIR imager at the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to
produce the highest-resolution mid-IR color-temperature map of the inner
half-parsec of the Galactic Center to date. From this map, we compile a catalog
of features that stand out from their background. In particular, we identify 33
compact sources that stand out against the local background temperature, 11 of
which are newly identified and are candidates for being members of the G
objects population. Additionally, we resolve and newly characterize the
morphology of several known extended features. These results prepare the way
for ongoing and future JWST studies that have access to a greater range of
mid-infrared wavelengths, and thus will allow for refined estimation of the
trends of dust temperatures.
