HCM-6A [SEP] constellation
HCM-6A
HCM-6A is an LAE galaxy that was found in 2002 by a team led by Esther Hu from the University of Hawaii, using the Keck II Telescope in Hawaii. HCM-6A is located behind the Abell 370 galactic cluster, near M77 in the constellation Cetus, which enabled the astronomers to use Abell 370 as a gravitational lens to get a clearer image of the object.
HCM-6A was the farthest object known at the time of its discovery. It exceeded SSA22−HCM1 ("z" = 5.74) as the most distant normal
