5'' × 5'' images of our only viable z ~ 10 galaxy candidate (see also Bouwens et al. 2011a). The images show, from left to right, B 435, V 606, i 775, z 850, Y 105, J 125, H 160, IRAC [3.6], [4.5], [5.8], and [8.0]. The J 125 and H 160 images shown here are combined from both the HUDF09 and the CANDELS survey data (which add 0.05 mag in depth). The IRAC [3.6] and [4.5] images include the additional ~130h of data obtained over the HUDF as part of the IUDF10 program so far. As can be seen, the source is only significantly detected in H 160. The IRAC [3.6 μm] data show a non-negligible excess of flux in the vicinity of the candidate. However, this flux is very likely to be associated with the brighter neighboring source to the upper right. After subtraction of all nearby sources in IRAC, the candidate is undetected in both IRAC bands at less than 1σ. The images are oriented north top, and east left.
