Galaxy protocluster candidates around z ~ 2.4 radio galaxies

Galaxy protocluster candidates around z ~ 2.4 radio galaxies

We study the environments of six radio galaxies at 2.2 < z < 2.6 using wide-field near-infrared images. We use colour cuts to identify galaxies in this redshift range, and find that three of the radio galaxies are surrounded by significant surface overdensities of such galaxies. The excess gal...
