摘要:

用LSST、\Euclid和{ \it Roman}进行宇宙学和星系演化研究,需要对探测到的星系进行精确的红移。在这项研究中,我们提出了改进的光度红移估计的星系使用模板库,填充三色空间,并受到\HST /坎德尔测光。对于训练样本,我们使用具有光度红移的星系样本,这使我们能够训练在一个大的,无偏见的星系样本上,在光学到中红外波长处具有深,清晰的光度。将训练样本中的半导体激光器分配给三维颜色空间中的立方体、$V-H$、$I-J$和$z-H$。然后,我们推导出最适合的光谱能量分布的训练样本在固定的CANDELS中值光度红移,以构建新的模板库为每个单独的颜色立方体(即基于颜色立方体的模板库)。我们得到我们的目标星系的光度红移(photo-z)使用我们新的基于颜色立方体的模板库和测光只有一组有限的波段,预期上述调查。因此,我们的方法产生的$σ_{NMAD}$为0.026和一个离群分数为6\%,仅使用光度法在LSST和\Euclid /{ \it罗马}带。与其他技术相比,$\sim$ 10\%对$σ_{NMAD}$的改进以及$\sim$ 13\%的离群值分数的降低。特别地,我们在$2 < z < 3$处将photo-z精度提高了约30\%。我们还通过在$ugrizYJH$光度测定中加入$K$或中红外波段来评估photo-z的改进。我们的颜色立方体为基础的模板库是一个强大的工具,以限制光度红移为未来的大型调查。

英文摘要:

Cosmology and galaxy evolution studies with LSST, \Euclid, and {\it Roman}, will require accurate redshifts for the detected galaxies. In this study, we present improved photometric redshift estimates for galaxies using a template library that populates three-color space and is constrained by \HST/CANDELS photometry. For the training sample, we use a sample of galaxies having photometric redshifts which allows us to train on a large, unbiased galaxy sample having deep, unconfused photometry at optical-to-mid infrared wavelengths. Galaxies in the training sample are assigned to cubes in three-dimensional color space, $V-H$, $I-J$, and $z-H$. We then derive the best-fit spectral energy distributions of the training sample at the fixed CANDELS median photometric redshifts to construct the new template library for each individual color cube (i.e. color-cube-based template library). We derive photometric redshifts (photo-z) of our target galaxies using our new color-cube-based template library and with photometry in only a limited set of bands, as expected for the aforementioned surveys. As a result, our method yields $σ_{NMAD}$ of 0.026 and an outlier fraction of 6\% using only photometry in the LSST and \Euclid/{\it Roman} bands. This is an improvement of $\sim$10\% on $σ_{NMAD}$ and a reduction in outlier fraction of $\sim$13\% compared to other techniques. In particular, we improve the photo-z precision by about 30\% at $2 < z < 3$. We also assess photo-z improvements by including $K$ or mid-infrared bands to the $ugrizYJH$ photometry. Our color-cube-based template library is a powerful tool to constrain photometric redshifts for future large surveys.
