On the Photometric Redshift Estimates for FR II Radio Galaxies

Astrophysics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

Using the photometric data on FR II radio galaxies obtained in the Big Trio Program and data from other sources, we confirmed the stable correlation between the spectroscopic and photometric redshifts up to z~4 determined from the evolutionary synthetic spectra of elliptical galaxies. This is a confirmation for the theoretical predictions of the existence of a stellar population at high redshifts and its subsequent evolution corresponding to the population of giant elliptical galaxies.
