 Galaxy Abell 1835 IR1916 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Galaxy Abell 1835 IR1916 is seen as a tiny dot in this photo of distant galaxies.
Abell 1835 IR1916 (also known as Abell 1835, Galaxy Abell 1835, or Galaxy Abell 1835 IR1916) is a candidate for being the most distant galaxy ever observed.
This means that Abell 1835 IR1916 appears to us as it was 13.2 billion years ago, only 500 million years after the Big Bang and very close to the first burst of star formation in the universe.

Abell 1835 IR1916 (also known as Abell 1835, Galaxy Abell 1835, or Galaxy Abell 1835 IR1916) was a candidate to be the farthest galaxy ever observed.
This means that humans would have observed Abell 1835 IR1916 as it was 13.2 billion years ago, only 500 million years after the Big Bang is thought to have occurred.
The candidate galaxy lied behind the galaxy cluster Abell 1835, and was supposed to be gravitationally lensed by the massive cluster in order to be observable.

Using the ISAAC near-infrared instrument on the VLT in Chile, a team of French and Swiss astronomers has now been able to obtain strong evidence for the detection of a galaxy at a redshift of 10.0.
As only a small fraction of the mass of a galaxy is in the form of stars, the total mass of Abell 1835 IR1916, including a non-baryonic dark halo, is estimated to be of the order of a billion solar masses.
These properties are strong indicators that Abell 1835 IR1916 is indeed one of the building blocks of the large galaxies seen today, thought to have been assembled through the merging of many smaller protogalaxies.

 VLT Smashes the Record of the Farthest Known Galaxy
First of all, very deep images of a cluster of galaxies named Abell 1835 were taken using the ISAAC near-infrared instrument on the VLT.
This line, which occurs in the laboratory at a wavelength of 0.1216 micron, that is, in the ultraviolet, has been stretched to the near infrared at 1.34 micron, making Abell 1835 IR1916 the first galaxy known to have a redshift as large as 10.
This is the strongest case for a redshift in excess of the current spectroscopically confirmed record at z=6.6 and the first case of a double-digit redshift.

 Galaxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 1970s it was realized that the total visible mass of galaxies (from stars and gas) does not properly account for the speed of the rotating gas, thus leading to the postulation of dark matter.
In 2004, the galaxy Abell 1835 IR1916 became the most distant galaxy ever seen by humans.
The word galaxy was derived from the Greek term for our own galaxy, kyklos galaktikos meaning "milky circle" for the system’s appearance in the sky.

The pictures of galaxy Abell 1835 IR1916 confirmed scientists' views on how the universe appeared shortly after the first light sources began to pierce the cosmic fog that followed the big bang and ended what astronomers dub the dark ages, Mr Schaerer said.
Building-block galaxies such as Abell 1835 are thought to have been formed out of the bright islands of matter that formed after the big bang.
Pictures of Abell 1835 available on the Internet (www.eso.org) show it as little more than a shadow sandwiched between large fl blobs.

The galaxy, dubbed Abell 1835 IR1916, is 13.23 billion light-years from Earth -- said France's state-funded National Center for Scientific Research, a major European research organization.
The source is seen magnified by a cluster of galaxies, Abell 1935, acting as a gravitational lens, and the source location is where sources with 9 < z < 11 should be very highly magnified.
Pello et al observed the Abell cluster, in various bands, using a VLT (8.4m diameter 'scopes?), for 3,000 seconds (V band) to 19,000 seconds (Ks band).
