An object header is a reference-sized collection of bits in each object instance. The object header holds a reference to a DynamicHub, which identifies the class of the instance. It may also contain a couple of reserved bits that encode internal state information (e.g., for the GC). During garbage collection, the object header may hold a forwarding reference to the new location of this instance if the object has been moved by the collector.
