摘要
We present accurate photometric redshifts (photo-z) in the 2-deg(2) COSMOS field. The redshifts are computed with 30 broad, intermediate, and narrowbands covering the UV (Galaxy Evolution Explorer), visible near-IR (NIR; Subaru, Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), United Kingdom Infrared Telescope, and National Optical Astronomy Observatory), and mid-IR (Spitzer/IRAC). A chi(2) template-fitting method (Le Phare) was used and calibrated with large spectroscopic samples from the Very Large Telescope Visible Multi-Object Spectrograph and the Keck Deep Extragalactic Imaging Multi-Object Spectrograph. We develop and implement a new method which accounts for the contributions from emission lines ([O II], H beta, H alpha, and Ly alpha) to the spectral energy distributions (SEDs). The treatment of emission lines improves the photo-z accuracy by a factor of 2.5. Comparison of the derived photo-z with 4148 spectroscopic redshifts (i.e., Delta z = z(s) - z(p)) indicates a dispersion of sigma(Delta z)/((1+zs)) = 0.007 at i(AB)(+) 22.5, a factor of 2-6 times more accurate than earlier photo-z in the COSMOS, CFHT Legacy Survey, and the Classifying Object by Medium-Band Observations-17 survey fields. At fainter magnitudes i(AB)(+) < 24 and z < 1.25, the accuracy is sigma(Delta z/(1+zs)) = 0.012. The deep NIR and Infrared Array Camera coverage enables the photo-z to be extended to z similar to 2, albeit with a lower accuracy (sigma(Delta z/(1+zs)) = 0.06 at i(AB)(+) similar to 24). The redshift distribution of large magnitude-selected samples is derived and the median redshift is found to range from z(m) = 0.66 at 22 < i(AB)(+) < 22.5 to zm = 1.06 at 24.5 i(AB)(+) < 25. At i(AB)(+) < 26.0, the multiwavelength COSMOS catalog includes approximately 607,617 objects. The COSMOS-30 photo-z enables the full exploitation of this survey for studies of galaxy and large-scale structure evolution at high redshift.
