Description
We present the results of our search near the end of the Reionization Epoch for faint galaxies around two close, massive Lyman-α emitters (LAEs) at redshift 6.5, discovered in the SXDS field, using very deep OSIRIS images and spectroscopy obtained at the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). The luminosity function of these LAEs shows that this area is about 1.5 times denser than the general field galaxy population at z = 6.5. Our results implies the discovery of one of the earliest protoclusters in the Universe, which will evolve to resemble the most massive galaxy clusters today.
