About The Data
Data DescriptionHubble data for this release were obtained from the following proposals: : P. van Dokkum (Yale University) et al. A multitude of archival HST data was used for these findings, including, but not limited to: grism spectroscopy data from the 3D-HST survey which contains areas within the GOODS fields and WFC3/F160W from the CANDELS survey. The science team comprises: E. Nelson and P. van Dokkum (Yale University), M. Franx (Leiden Observatory, The Netherlands), G. Brammer (STScI), I. Momcheva (Yale University), N. Forster Schreiber (Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, Garching, Germany), E. da Cunha (Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, Heidelberg, Germany), L.

About The Image
Color InfoThis image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the ACS/WFC and WFC3/UVIS instruments. Several filters were used to sample various wavelengths. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image as follows: Blue: F814W + F850LP Green: F125W Red: F160W
