What is this? 

ID AHZ30000yA
Survey reference 50008243

[stellar190]

I've tried to bring up here: http://www.galaxyzoo.org/examine/AHZ30000yA but I think you've got the wrong ID because it brings up a totally different galaxy.

Looks like it might be an AGN though

[Hernan]

Sorry!! the ID is AHZ30000y4 

[stellar190]

The SIMBAD database says it's a Quasar, I cant find the spectrum to say for sure though

It does have a redshift of 1.370900 though That places it around 8 billion light years away

Heres the info for it:

Thank you very much!!

I belive could be a spiral.
I search the database that I know but found only redshift without spectra

Welcome to the zoo Hernan, that's an astonishing galaxy

[Budgieye]

NED says that it is an X-ray source, so it must be a quasar.
It is amazing that at z=1.3, we can still detect the light from the spiral arms.
Now that Examine is working, we will be more redshifts, so we can get a better feeling for distances and colours.

I'm really excited to participate in this project. The image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field is one of my favorites ... I never imagined I could see these wonders. It's a dream come true.

I don't believe it. Is there a spectrum?

If the redshift is spectroscopicaly reliable, I agree with you ; at this redshift 1.3709 it's questionable to see spiral arms in such extent even with the Keck telescope.
I wonder if there is a gravitational lens showing up mostly in  BVz  when you look at the "View GOODS images →"
A blob is kissing the perfectly round central bulge but not attached like an arm;
so my guess is QSO lensing a remote galaxy. Any contradiction?
