摘要
We investigate the ability of the Space Infrared Telescope Facility's Infrared Array Camera tb detect distant (z similar to 3) galaxies and measure their photometric redshifts. Our analysis shows that changing the original long-wavelength filter specifications provides significant improvements in performance in this and other areas.
