The image was created from Hubble data from proposals 11663: M. Brodwin (University of Missouri-Kansas City and Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics) et al. and 12203: A. Stanford (University of California, Davis and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) et al.

The science team includes: A. Stanford (University of California, Davis and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory), and M. Brodwin (University of Missouri-Kansas City and Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), A. Gonzalez, C. Fedeli, D. Gettings, and C. Mancone (University of Florida, Gainesville), P. Eisenhardt, D. Stern, and L. Moustakas (JPL), A. Dey and B. Jannuzi (NOAO), G. Zeimann (University of California, Davis), G. Snyder (Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), T. Plagge, J. Carlstrom, and E. Leitch (University of Chicago), D. Marrone (Steward Observatory), and M. Joy (NASA/MSFC).

This image is a composite of separate exposures acquired by the ACS/WFC and WFC3/IR instruments. Several filters were used to sample various wavelength and energy ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic (grayscale) image associated with an individual filter. In this case, the assigned colors are:
