CEERS2-588 is a Lyman-break galaxy discovered in 2022 by the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) project team using the James Webb Space Telescope. It is located in the COSMOS region of the sky, an ultra-deep field that has been extensively studied by a variety of telescopes. CEERS2-588 was identified in the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) survey data, which was designed to observe the z > 10 universe. The initial observations were part of the first public data release on July 14, 2022. The galaxy was initially identified through photometric analysis and later confirmed spectroscopically by NIRSpec. The CEERS team found several bright candidates, including CEERS2-588, during the initial months of JWST's operation.
