We find 79 Ly{alpha} emitter (LAE) candidates at z~4.86 over a contiguous survey area of 1.83deg^2^, down to the Ly{alpha} line flux of 1.47x10^-17^erg/s/cm^2^. We obtain the Ly{alpha} luminosity function with a best-fit Schechter parameters of log L*=42.9^+0.5^_-0.3_erg/s and {Phi}*=1.2^+8.0^_-1.1_x10^-4^Mpc^-3^ for {alpha}=-1.5 (fixed). The two-point correlation function for our LAE sample is {xi}(r)=(r/4.4^+5.7^_-2.9_Mpc)^-1.90+/-0.22^. In order to investigate the field-to-field variations of the properties of Ly{alpha} emitters, we divide the survey area into nine tiles of 0.5x0.5{deg} each. We find that the number density varies with a factor of ~2 from field to field with high statistical significance. However, we find no significant field-to-field variance when we divide the field into four tiles with 0.7x0.7{deg} each. We conclude that at least 0.5deg^2^ survey area is required to derive averaged properties of LAEs at z~5, and our survey field is wide enough to overcome the cosmic variance.</description><source format="bibcode">2009ApJ...696..546S</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/696/546</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/498/13">J/A+A/498/13 : Lyman-{alpha} emitters from redshifts z~2-3 (Nilsson+, 2009)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/175/128">J/ApJS/175/128 : H{alpha} emitting galaxies in COSMOS-2 field (Shioya+, 2008)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/172/456">J/ApJS/172/456 : [OII] emitting galaxies in COSMOS + SDF fields (Takahashi+,</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/172/523">J/ApJS/172/523 : COSMOS field Ly{alpha} emitters at z~5.7 (Murayama+, 2007)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/PASJ/58/313">J/PASJ/58/313 : Ly{alpha} emitters in the SUBARU Deep Field (Shimasaku+, 2006)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/648/7">J/ApJ/648/7 : Ly{alpha} emitters at z=6.5 in Subaru Deep Field (Kashikawa+,</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/PASJ/57/165">J/PASJ/57/165 : Ly{alpha} emitters in the SUBARU Deep Field (Taniguchi+, 2005)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/PASJ/57/881">J/PASJ/57/881 : Imaging of high-redshift Lyman alpha emitters (Yamada+, 2005)</relatedResource></relationship></content><rights>https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.html</rights><capability><interface xsi:type="vr:WebBrowser"><accessURL use="full">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/696/546</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/696/546</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/696/546</mirrorURL></interface></capability><capability><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/696/546</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/696/546</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/696/546</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface></capability><capability standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAP#aux"><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tap</accessURL></interface></capability><capability xsi:type="cs:ConeSearch" standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/ConeSearch"><description>Cone search capability for table J/ApJ/696/546/table1 (Photometric properties of Ly{alpha} emitter (LAE) candidates)</description><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/696/546/table1?</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/696/546/table1?</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/ApJ/696/546/table1?</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface><maxSR>180.0</maxSR><maxRecords>50000</maxRecords><verbosity>true</verbosity><testQuery><ra>150.68983</ra><dec>1.5980389</dec><sr>0.005555555555555556</sr></testQuery></capability><coverage><spatial>5/6814 6/27245 27247 27344</spatial><spectral>2.7723443941582964e-19 2.8028570465771445e-19</spectral><footprint ivo-id="ivo://ivoa.net/std/moc">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/ApJ/696/546?format=ascii</footprint><waveband>UV</waveband><waveband>Optical</waveband><waveband>Infrared</waveband></coverage><tableset><schema><name>default</name><table><name>J/ApJ/696/546/table1</name><description>Photometric properties of Ly{alpha} emitter (LAE) candidates</description><column><name>l_EW0</name><description>Limit flag on EW0</description><ucd>meta.code.error</ucd><dataType xsi:type="vs:VOTableType" arraysize="1*">char</dataType></column><column><name>recno</name><description>Record number assigned by the VizieR team.
