Photometric Redshifts Applied to WFPC 2 and NICMOS HDF Data
نویسنده
چکیده
A photometric redshift analysis of optical and infrared images of the Northern Hubble Deep Field indicate a constant star formation rate for redshifts between 1 and 6. The small size of the field and small number of high redshift objects limits this finding to just the area of the NICMOS image. The photometric redshift technique is a modified version of chi square fits to observed and calculated galaxy spectral energy distribution templates.

Photometry and Photometric Redshifts of Faint Galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field
We present a catalog of photometry and photometric redshifts of 335 faint objects in the HDF–S NICMOS field. The analysis is based on (1) infrared images obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) using the Near Infrared Camera and MultiObject Spectrograph (NICMOS) with the F110W, F160W, and F222M filters, (2) an optical image obtained with HST using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph...
متن کاملCandidate High Redshift and Primeval Galaxies in Hubble Deep Field South
We present the results of colour selection of candidate high redshift galaxies in Hub-ble Deep Field South (HDF-S) using the Lyman dropout scheme. The HDF-S data we discuss were taken in a number of different filters extending from the near–UV (F300W) to the infrared (F222M) in two different fields. This allows us to select candidates with redshifts from z∼3 to z∼12. We find 15 candidate z∼3 ob...
متن کاملThe first galaxies: structure and stellar populations
The Hubble Deep Fields continue to be a valuable resource for studying the distant universe, particularly at z > 2 where their comoving volume becomes large enough to encompass several hundred L∗ galaxies or their progenitors. Here I present recent results from a near–infrared imaging survey of the HDF–North with NICMOS, which provides structural and photometric information in the optical rest ...

We report on some aspects of our efforts to establish properties of the extremely faint galaxy population by applying our photometric redshift technique to the HDF and HDF–S WFPC2 and NICMOS fields. We find that cosmological surface brightness dimming effects play a dominant role in setting what is observed at redshifts z > 2, that the comoving number density of high intrinsic surface brightnes...
متن کاملNew insights on the accuracy of photometric redshift measurements
We use the deepest and most complete redshift catalog currently available (the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) North supplemented by new HDF South redshift data) to minimize residuals between photometric and spectroscopic redshift estimates. The good agreement at zspec < 1.5 shows that model libraries provide a good description of the galaxy population. At zspec ≥ 2.0, the systematic shift between phot...
