We report on the discovery of a z = 3.16 Lyman-α emitting blob in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) South field. The discovery was made with the VLT, through narrow-band imaging. The blob has a total Lyα luminosity of ～ 1043 erg s?1 and a diameter larger than 60 kpc. The available multi-wavelength data in the GOODS field consists of 13 bands from X-rays (Chandra) to infrared (Spitzer). Unlike other known Lyα blobs, this blob shows no obvious continuum counter-parts in any of the broad-bands. In particular, no optical counter-parts are found in deep HST/ACS imaging. For previously published blobs, AGN (Active Galactic Nuclei) or “superwind” models have been found to provide the best match to the data. We here argue that the most probable origin of the extended Lyα emission from this blob is cold accretion onto a dark matter halo. Key words. cosmology: observations – galaxies: high redshift – galaxies: halos 1. Introduction Narrow-band surveys for Lyman-α (Lyα) emitting galaxies at high redshift have recently revealed a number of luminous (up to 5 · 1043 erg s?1), very extended (from a few times ten kpc to more than 150 kpc) Lyα-emitting objects, so-called Lyα “blobs” (Fynbo et al. 1999; Keel et al. 1999; Steidel et al. 2000; Francis et al.
