The Planck satellite has identified more than 2000 protocluster candidates with extreme star formation rates (SFRs). Here, we present the spectroscopic identification of a Planck-selected protocluster located in the Cosmos field, PHz G237.01+42.50 (G237). G237 contains a galaxy overdensity of 31 spectroscopically identified galaxies at z~2.16 (significant at 5.4 sigma) in a 10'x11' region. The overdensity contains two substructures or protoclusters at <z>~2.16 and 2.195 with estimated halo masses at z=0 of ~(5-6)x10^14 Msun. The overdensity total SFR, ~4000 Msun/yr, is higher than predicted by simulations but much smaller than the SFR derived from the Planck data. The analysis of the Herschel data, in combination with the available ancillary data, shows that such a difference is due to an effect of source alignment along the line of sight that produces a 5 sigma overdensity of red Herschel sources in the field. We analyze the members' UV spectra and UV-far-infrared spectral energy distributions to derive their SFR, stellar mass, and metallicity. Galaxy members include blue star-forming galaxies and AGN with SFRs and stellar masses consistent with the main sequence. AGN, identified through optical spectroscopy or X-ray data, represent a significant fraction (20+/-10%) of all members of the protocluster at z=2.16, and they are powerful enough to produce radiative feedback. The core of this protocluster, besides being denser, includes members that are, on average, more massive and star-forming and contains a larger fraction of AGN and Herschel-detected galaxies than the full sample, suggesting an environmental effect on galaxy growth. A comparison between G237 and other protoclusters in the literature at similar redshifts reveals some common traits and differences that reflect both observational biases and a diversity in intrinsic properties that is not yet fully understood.

The 700 ks Chandra Spiderweb Field I: evidence for widespread nuclear activity in the Protocluster
(Abridged) We present an analysis of the 700 ks Chandra ACIS-S observation of the field around the Spiderweb Galaxy at z=2.156, focusing on the nuclear activity in the associated large-scale environment. We identify unresolved X-ray sources down to flux limits of 1.3X10^{-16} and 3.9X10^{-16} erg/s/cm^2 in the soft and hard band, respectively. We search for counterparts in the optical, NIR and submm bands to identify X-ray sources belonging to the protocluster. We detect 107 X-ray unresolved sources within 5 arcmin (corresponding to 2.5 Mpc) of J1140-2629, among which 13 have optical counterpa…

A Search for Massive Galaxy Population in a Protocluster of LAEs at $z = 2.39$ near the Radio Galaxy 53W002
利用Subaru望远镜Suprime-Cam和MOIRCS的$B,~V,~i^\prime,~J,~H,~{\rm{and}}~K_s$波段成像数据,在射电星系53 W 002附近的$z=2.39$观测到的莱曼$~α$发射体(LAEs)的已知大尺度高密度结构中寻找大质量星系群。在我们的巡天$70.2~{\rm{arcmin}}^{2}$中,我们通过$JHK_s$波段颜色和光谱能量分布(SED)拟合分析($JHK_s$ -selected galaxies)选择了62个原星系候选成员,并将它们的物理性质与COSMOS场中的一个比较样本进行了比较。我们发现在$K_s<22.25,~J-K_s>2,~{\rm{or}}~V-K_s>4$的53 W 002场中,$JHK_s$选择星系的数密度显著过剩。特别是在53 W 002视场中具有$K_s<22.25~{\rm{and}}~J-K_s>2$的$JHK_s$选定星系的数密度比比较样本高9倍。大多数具有$K_s<22.25~{\rm{and}}~J-K_s>2$的星系都是具有$M_s>10^{11}~M_\odot$的大质量星系,它们的sSFR为$10^{-11}$ -- $10^{-10}~\rm{yr^{-1}}$,表明恒星形成尚未完全停止。我们还发现了具有$M_s=5\times10^{10}$ -$10^{11}~M_\odot~{…
