| Popis: | Recently, Zheng et al. (2005) found evidence for an overdensity of galaxies around a radio-loud quasar, SDSS J0836+0054, at z=5.8 (a five arcmin$^2$ region). We have examined our deep optical imaging data (B, V, r', i', z', and NB816) taken with the Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope. The NB816 narrow-band filter (lambda_c = 815 nm and $\Delta\lambda = 12$ nm) is suitable for searching for Ly$\alpha$ emitters at $z\approx 5.7$. We have found a new strong Ly$\alpha$ emitter at $z \approx 5.7$ close to object B identified by Zheng et al. Further, the non detection of the nine objects selected by Zheng et al. (2005) in our B, V, and r' images provides supporting evidence that they are high-z objects. Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, accepted for PASJ |
