Probing the existence of a rich galaxy overdensity at z=5.2
We report the results of a pilot spectroscopic program of a region at z=5.2 in the GOODS-N field containing an overdensity of galaxies around the well-known submillimeter galaxy HDF850.1. We have selected candidate cluster members from the optical 25 medium-band photometric catalog of the project SHARDS (Survey for High-z Absorption Red and Dead Sources). 17 rest-frame UV selected galaxies (LAEs and LBGs) with 5.15 10^15 M_sun).
