Photometric Redshift Catalog (SCUSS, SDSS, WISE)

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We publish a photometric redshift catalog based on imaging data of the South Galactic Cap u-band Sky Survey, Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE).

Description

A total of 7 photometric bands are used, ranging from near ultraviolet to near infrared. A local linear regression method is adopted to estimate the photometric redshift with a dedicated spectroscopic training set.

The photometric redshift catalog contains about 23.1 million galaxies classified by SDSS. Using the training set with redshift up to 0.8 and r-band magnitude down to 22mag, we achieve an average bias of {Delta}z_norm_=0.000228, standard deviation of {sigma}({Delta}z_norm_)=0.019, and 3{sigma} outlier rate of about 4.2%. The bias is less than 0.01 at z<0.6 and goes up to about 0.05 at z~0.8.

Compared with SDSS photometric redshifts, our redshift estimations are more accurate and have less bias.
