Optimal multihump filter for photometric redshifts
We propose a novel type filter for multicolor imaging to improve on the photometric redshift estimation of galaxies. An extra filter—specific to a certain photometric system—may be utilized with high efficiency. We present a case study of the Hubble Space Telescope’s Advanced Camera for Surveys and show that one extra exposure could cut down the mean square error on photometric redshifts by 34%...
متن کاملA Unified Framework for Photometric Redshifts
We present a rigorous mathematical solution to photometric redshift estimation and the more general inversion problem. The challenge we address is to meaningfully constrain unknown properties of astronomical sources based on given observables, usually multicolor photometry, with the help of a training set that provides an empirical relation between the measurements and the desired quantities. W...
متن کاملPhotometric Redshifts in the CFDF
The Canada–France Deep Fields (CFDF) is a large, deep, multi-colour imaging survey undertaken primarily at CFHT. It is about 10 times fainter than the CFRS (Lilly et al 1995a) and contains over 100 times as many galaxies. With three common fields, CFDF redshifts will be estimated photometrically using the CFRS spectroscopic catalogue as a training set. The project will yield large numbers of ga...
متن کاملA Bayesian Hierarchical Model for Photometric Redshifts
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is an extremely large astronomical survey conducted with the intention of mapping more than a quarter of the sky (http://www.sdss.org/). Among the data it is generating are spectroscopic and photometric measurements, both allowing estimation of the redshift of galaxies. The former is precise but expensive to gather, the latter is far cheaper but corresponding...
متن کاملPhotometric Redshifts Of Starburst Galaxies
Although starburst galaxies have relatively flat spectral energy distributions, their strong optical emission lines and near-UV continua make it very feasible to estimate their redshifts photometrically. In this work, I describe a photometric technique that simultaneously (1) identifies galaxies by star formation rate and (2) measures their redshifts with an accuracy of σz = 0.05 for objects at...
