GOODS Phot-z Code / six templates used / Luminosity function used as prior / Cosmic opacity from Madau et al. / Extinction allowed as a free parameter, estimating E(B-V) for each galaxy / Interpolates the spectral types / Easily extended to other bands (ie IRAC, GALEX etc)

Luminosity functions are calculated using * 1/Vmax method * Maximum likelihood method Traditionally (ideally):

Luminosity functions are calculated using * 1/Vmax method * Maximum likelihood method Traditionally (ideally): each galaxy has one redshift -> one absolute magnitude -> one galaxy added to magnitude bin in LF Using phot-z's: Phot-z's have relatively large errors Each galaxy is represented by a redshift distribution

Photometric Redshifts Template fitting method Input LF prior Extinction correction Comparison with ~400 spec-z's: Accuracy: s(z)/(1+zspec) = 0. 12 Accuracy. s(z)/(1+zspec) = 0. 06, after excluding 3% out-liers ”Massive Galaxies”, STSc. I, 27 Sept 2004 Bahram Mobasher

Photometric Redshifts & the Luminosity Function We use the 1/Vmax-method to calculate the LF:

Photometric Redshifts & the Luminosity Function We use the 1/Vmax-method to calculate the LF: F(M)d. M = S 1/Vi(Mi) Uncertainties in phot-z may introduce bias when determining the LF (Chen et al. 2003) Instead of a single redshift, we use a probability distribution for each object derived from phot-z method. The 1/Vmax-method is now expressed as: F(M)d. M = SPi/Vi(Mi) ”Massive Galaxies”, STSc. I, 27 Sept 2004 Bahram Mobasher
