HFLS3
HFLS3 is the name for a distant galaxy, located at z = 6.34, originating about 880 million years after the Big Bang.[1] Its discovery was announced on 18 April 2013 as an exceptional starburst galaxy producing nearly 3,000 solar masses of stars a year.[1] It was found by using the far infrared capable Herschel Space Telescope.[1] It is 10–30 times the mass of other known galaxies at such an early time in the Universe.
HFLS3 was subjected to a follow-up campaign by other telescopes due to its high redness.[2] HFLS3 was found in the HerMES campaign, which also found other very red sources.[3]
