A New Catalog of Photometric Redshifts in the Hubble Deep Field
Open accessAbstract
Using the newly available infrared images of the Hubble Deep Field in the J , H , and K bands and an optimal photometric method, we have refined a technique to estimate the redshifts of 1067 galaxies. A detailed comparison of our results with the spectroscopic redshifts in those cases where the latter are available shows that this technique gives very good results for bright enough objects [ AB (8140)<26.0]. From a study of the distribution of residuals [Δ z rms /(1+ z )≈0.1 at all redshifts], we conclude that the observed errors are mainly due to cosmic variance. This very important result allows for the assessment of errors in quantities to be directly or indirectly measured from the catalog. We present some of the statistical properties of the ensemble of galaxies in the catalog, and we finish by presenting a list of bright high-redshift ( z ≈5) candidates extracted from our catalog together with recent spectroscopic redshift determinations confirming that two of them are at z =5.34 and z =5.60.

“In the majority of cases we found that the data from Fernández-Soto et al. (1999) and Gwynn & Hartwick (1996) contained detections in only three or four bands, whereas the NICMOS data provided a total of five to seven bands and with greater leverage.”

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.
