UV luminosity function (LF) of PRGs in our sample (red squares) compared to the nominal UVLF measured by Harikane et al. (2024) for field galaxies (FGs; solid black line). We additionally compare to the UVLF from a semi-analytical model of an extremely overdense region at z = 8 from Kulkarni & Choudhury (2011) (dotted grey line) and the central R = 2 cMpc region of the Obelisk simulation at z = 7.9 (Trebitsch et al. 2021) (dot-dashed orange line). At the UV-bright end of the LF, the A2744-PC-z7p9 region appears to be 200 times overdense relative to the nominal UVLF (dashed black line). There are indications of a mild turnover at MUV > −18, however our sample will become highly incomplete near the 5σ depth (indicated by the shaded grey region), as discussed in Section 3, so this remains uncertain.
