From reference 4)
In summary therefore, Figures 4 and 5 suggest that the HUDF-JD2 is
likely to be an extremely massive galaxy observed at 6 z 8 which
formed the bulk of its stars at zform 9. The size of the observed Ks
-3.6 micrometers break implies a post-starburst system now being
observed in a quiescent state.

Translated into english the above paragraph gives:

The researchers are particularly intrigued by the fact that star
formation in the galaxy seems to have already been completed. This
implies that the bulk of the activity that built up the galaxy had
occurred even earlier. (Reference 3)

This object is eight times the Milky way.
