Discovery of a Protocluster Associated with a Ly α Blob Pair at z = 2.3

Discovery of a Protocluster Associated with a Ly α Blob Pair at z = 2.3

Bright Ly alpha blobs (LABs)-extended nebulae with sizes of similar to 100 kpc and Ly alpha luminosities of similar to 10(44) erg s(-1)-often reside in overdensities of compact Ly alpha emitters (LAEs) that may be galaxy protoclusters. The number density, variance, and internal kinematics of LABs su...
