Evolution of the Galaxy Population Based on Photometric Redshifts in the Hubble Deep Field
Open accessAbstract
This paper presents the results of a photometric redshift study of galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF). The method of determining redshifts from broadband colors is described, and the dangers inherent in using it to estimate redshifts, particularly at very high z, are discussed. In particular, the need for accurate high-z spectral energy distributions is illustrated. The validity of our photometric redshift technique is demonstrated both by direct verification with available HDF spectroscopic data and by comparisons of luminosity functions and luminosity densities with those obtained from z<1 spectroscopic redshift surveys. Evolution of the galaxy population is studied over 0≲ z < 4. Brightening is seen in both the luminosity function and the luminosity density out to z~ 3; this is followed by a decline in both at z>3. A population of z<0.5 star-forming dwarfs is observed to M_F450WAB=-11. Our results are discussed in the context of recent developments in the understanding of galaxy evolution.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
