Morphology-density relation in BOSS1244 and BOSS1542 for strongly bulge-dominated galaxies (n ≥ 3). The same legend is used as in Fig. 5. Top: All detected galaxies brighter than our magnitude limit (mF160W < 24.5). Bottom: All detected galaxies brighter than an m*+1 galaxy at z = 2.246. In each plot, the density measurement is for the entire sample. As in Fig. 5, the value of the fraction of galaxies with n ≥ 3 for each sample is measured by bootstrapping over the measured errors in Sérsic index over 1000 iterations. Here, we see a local morphology-density relation in BOSS1244, but no such relation in BOSS1542, pointing to differences in the evolutionary states of these protoclusters.
