Bayesian photometric redshifts with empirical training sets
We combine in a single framework the two complementary benefits of χ-template fits and empirical training sets used e.g. in neural nets: χ is more reliable when its probability density functions (PDFs) are inspected for multiple peaks, while empirical training is more accurate when calibration and priors of query data and training set match. We present a χ-empirical method that derives PDFs fro...
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 کاملBayesian Photometric Redshifts for Weak Lensing Applications
The next generation of weak gravitational lensing surveys is capable of generating good measurements of cosmological parameters, provided that, amongst other requirements, adequate redshift information is available for the background galaxies that are measured. It is frequently assumed that photometric redshift techniques provide the means to achieve this. Here we compare Bayesian and frequenti...

متن کاملPhotometric Redshifts in the Irac Shallow Survey
Accurate photometric redshifts are calculated for nearly 200,000 galaxies to a 4.5 micron flux limit of ∼ 13 μJy in the 8.5 deg2 Spitzer/IRAC Shallow survey. Using a hybrid photometric redshift algorithm incorporating both neural–net and template–fitting techniques, calibrated with over 15,000 spectroscopic redshifts, a redshift accuracy of σ = 0.06(1 + z) is achieved for 95% of galaxies at 0 <...
