Using EAZY as photometric redshift estimation tool

I am new to JWST data analysis and currently trying to extract redshift of high redshift sources from the catalogue I created from SExtractor. I'm using EAZY (Brammer et al. 2008) for this purpose. I ...

Angle to the line of sight

I don't understand this angle used in galaxy clustering. There is the line of sight and this angle to the line of sight which is not clear to me. Here is a transcript of a description from 1705.05442: ...

Photometry templates -- what are the templates of?

Redshift measurements from photometric data can be determined using template-fitting (Cosmos website, SDSS photo-z). What does it mean to fit a template to determine redshift? What is the template of?

Kaggle dataset for Photo-Z estimation?

I would like to use the dataset for this kaggle but the competition was private, is closed and I have been unable to contact anyone directly. The challenge is machine learning for photo-z estimation ...

Interpretation and understanding of the relation for the photometric redshift in a given bin

In the context of photometric probe of surveys (like LSST), I need to understand the relation I have to use for photometric bins. Considering $p_{ph}(z_p|z)$ the probability to measure a photometric ...

K-correction vs resizing photometric bands

Is there a difference between a K-correction (see Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_correction) and simply "resizing" the bands, e.g. the 2-10 keV x-ray band, with the redshift? I've read ...

Photometric redshift - empirical methods (machine learning)

I am currently learning about estimation of photometric redshifts with machine learning methods (or empirical methods in general). These methods use the knowledge about the photometry and the ...

Relationship between photometric colour and redshift, part two

In the graphs in my previous question here, there are negative-sloped regions as the colour-z relationship oscillates. So if I look at how the I-W2 and W3-U colours change with redshift, as I've done ...

Relationship between photometric colour and redshift

In this paper, the authors describe the theoretical relationship between photometric colours, particularly in Figures 1 and 6: Since the colour is the difference between two magnitudes, and the ...

Estimating galactic dust extinction for medium band filters

I have a set of medium-band filters and I would like to compute $A_{\lambda}/E(B-V)$ for each filter which are not reported in the literatures. The magnitudes of the objects in the photometry ...
