Spatial distribution of LBG candidates as a function of their distance from W2246–0526. We count the number of LBG candidates in annuli with 20″ radial intervals, excluding the inner region of 2″(13.072 kpc) radius. We adapted this analysis from 2023Zewdie. The magenta open circles and grey open squares represent the selected LBG candidates based on modified selection criteria from 2023Zewdie. These selections have been corrected for detection completeness. For clarity, we shifted the surface density of LBG candidates selected by the modified Ouchi et al. (2004) selection criteria by +5″ on the x-axis.
