Redshift of S02-075 & missing attachment about photo-z's

    First, for Chris: S02-075 was discovered around I_Cousins = 23.2. Its host galaxy's
    photometric redshift puts it around z = 0.7 (see the next paragraph "for Everybody"). Given
    this redshift -- and the fact that it appeared as a 200% increase over the reference image (so
    there was probably no SN in the reference image) -- it is reasonably likely to have been on the
    rise. This would mean that tonight it could be near peak at 22.9 (but of course there is a fair
    amount of slop in these estimates).

    Second, for Everybody,
        At the end of the night when we sent in the HST target choices, I sent out the message with
    the plan, but I see that I didn't attach the original message about photometric redshifts from
    Mamoru that I meant to. I'm trying again here. Read the final parts of it (after the P.S.) too,
    because that's where the detailed table is given, including the different versions of the redshift
    estimates and the "bulge-to-total ratio" color estimate of galaxy type.

    Saul,

    summary
    The most recommended target from SDF is the host of SDF5 has
    photo-z=0.70, B/T=0.90.

    ***

    Hisanori Furusawa, who has just finished his ph.D. with photo-z
    gave us the result of photo-z.

    The colors of SDF candidates are

    (SDF4 is consisted of two objects.)

    He used four kinds of templates. He believes that
    template 3.and 4. more more reliable, since we don't have
    NIR data to discriminate Ly. break and Bal. break.

    The following are the results.
    The hosts of SDF2 and SDF5 have z=0.7-0.8, with
    elliptical like SED.
    "photo-z" indicates the estimated redshift.
    Another useful information is the bulge-total ratio
    (from SED) which is written just after "bt".
    bt=1.0 means completely old system.
    SDF2 and SDF5 both have bt=B/T=0.9.

    If we allow z=0.7, we can try SDF5. This one could be
    followed with FOCAS in the middle of June.

    I have a small discussion with a student for 30min.
    If you can call me in 40min later, it is very convenient
    for me.
