Here's Bahram Mobasher's quick-and-dirty photo-z work for ten candidates
we had as of last night (I asked for the closest three galaxies to the
candidate). I told him that we'll give really serious candidates later
today and ask for the more careful, handwork treatment that he does for
those.
Note that we have not yet confirmed that Bahram is giving us the info
for the galaxies that we think we asked for. This will require looking
at each image and confirming that there is something located (by the
offsets from candidate he gives) at the locations of these
"neighbors." Alternatively (in addition), we can send him some images
identifying the galaxies we are interested in for a few cases and ask
him to confirm that he is seeing them. Is anybody reading this
available to do this who is not already committed to one of the other
tasks (like getting the rest of the candidates checked)?
attached mail follows:
Dear Saul
Enclosed is the list of phot-z's, spectral types and their 95% confidence
intervals for the objects you provided. I have listed all the objects
around your proposed host (within 3e-3 deg). The delta(ra) and delta(dec)
from your position is also listed. From these you could identify which of
the objects are the closest to your coordinates.
Please let me have the revised list when you have it ready so that
I could measure the redshift probability distribution for the host
galaxies.
cheers
Bahram
