Extended Data Fig. 3

We select the galaxy systems with sizes similar to the JQ from a 2-deg2 cosmological simulation16 and rescale them to match the survey volume like JADES. The black solid curve indicates the cumulative fraction of systems as a function of galaxy counts. The black dashed line marks the selection criterion of the JQ-like system in the lightcone.
