dc.descriptionObservations of the powerful radio galaxy 1138-262 at z=2.2 suggest that this galaxy is a massive galaxy in the center of a forming cluster. We have imaged the field of 1138-262 with the Very Large Telescope in a narrow band encompassing the redshifted Lyman alpha emission. We detect 34 probable line emitters in the 6'x6' field. These are candidate Lyman alpha emitting galaxies in the supposed cluster. The observations also reveal that the radio galaxy is enclosed by a very extended Lyman alpha halo (160 kpc).
