Abstract



Protoclusters, the progenitors of galaxy clusters, trace large scale structures in the early Universe and are important to our understanding of structure formation and galaxy evolution. To date, only a handful of protoclusters have been identified in the Epoch of Reionization. As one of the rarest populations in the early Universe, distant quasars that host active supermassive black holes are thought to reside in the most massive dark matter halos at that cosmic epoch and could thus potentially pinpoint some of the earliest protoclusters. In this Letter, we report the discovery of a massive protocluster around a luminous quasar at z = 6.63. This protocluster is anchored by the quasar and includes three [C II] emitters at z similar to 6.63, 12 spectroscopically confirmed Ly alpha emitters (LAEs) at 6.54 < z <= 6.64, and a large number of narrow-band-imaging selected LAE candidates at the same redshift. This structure has an overall overdensity of delta=3.3(-0.9)(+1.1) within similar to 35 x 74 cMpc(2) on the sky and an extreme overdensity of delta > 30 in its central region (i.e., R less than or similar to 2 cMpc). We estimate that this protocluster will collapse into a galaxy cluster with a mass of 6.9(-1.4)(+1.2)x10(15)M(circle dot) at the current epoch, more massive than the most massive clusters known in the local Universe such as Coma. In the quasar vicinity, we discover a double-peaked LAE, which implies that the quasar has a UV lifetime greater than 0.8 Myrs and has already ionized its surrounding intergalactic medium.

We thank Yoshiaki Ono for providing collected data for Ly alpha emitter surface densities. We thank Romain Meyer for providing the overdensity profiles of [C ii] and LAEs in three z similar to 6 quasar fields and for insightful discussions about their measurements. We thank the referee for carefully reading the manuscript and providing great comments. F.W. acknowledges support from NSF grant AST-2308258.
This work was supported by a NASA Keck PI Data Award, administered by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute. Data presented herein were obtained at the W. M. Keck Observatory from telescope time allocated to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration through the agency’s scientific partnership with the California Institute of Technology and the University of California. The Observatory was made possible by the generous financial support of the W. M. Keck Foundation. This paper includes data gathered with the 6.5 m Magellan Telescopes located at Las Campanas Observatory, Chile. This research is based in part on data collected at the Subaru Telescope, which is operated by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. We are honored and grateful for the opportunity of observing the Universe from Maunakea, which has cultural, historical, and natural significance in Hawaii.
