Object return type in javascript/typescript

During angular Tour of Heroes turorial, I didn't understand this way of object return.

 createDb() {
 const heroes = [
   { id: 11, name: 'Dr Nice' },
   { id: 12, name: 'Narco' },
   { id: 13, name: 'Bombasto' },
   { id: 14, name: 'Celeritas' },
   { id: 15, name: 'Magneta' },
   { id: 16, name: 'RubberMan' },
   { id: 17, name: 'Dynama' },
   { id: 18, name: 'Dr IQ' },
   { id: 19, name: 'Magma' },
   { id: 20, name: 'Tornado' }
 ];
 return {heroes}; // <-- this line
}

Does it mean return {'heroes': heroes} ? What is called this syntax ?
