HCM-6A

2002 − 2003

z=6.56

This was the remotest object known at time of discovery. The galaxy is lensed by galaxy cluster Abell 370. This was the first galaxy, as opposed to quasar, found to exceed redshift 6. It exceeded the redshift of quasar SDSSp J103027.10+052455.0 of z=6.28^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]
