SPLASH-SXDF Multi-wavelength Photometric Catalog

Astrophysics of Galaxies 2018-04-25 v2

Abstract

We present a multi-wavelength catalog in the Subaru-XMM Deep Field (SXDF) as part of the Spitzer Large Area Survey with Hyper-Suprime-Cam (SPLASH). We include the newly acquired optical data from the Hyper-Suprime Cam Subaru Strategic Program, accompanied by IRAC coverage from the SPLASH survey. All available optical and near-infrared data is homogenized and resampled on a common astrometric reference frame. Source detection is done using a multi-wavelength detection image including the uu-band to recover the bluest objects. We measure multi-wavelength photometry and compute photometric redshifts as well as stellar masses for \sim1.17 million objects over \sim4.2 deg2^2 with \sim800,000 objects in the 2.4 deg2^2 HSC-UltraDeep coverage. Using the available spectroscopic redshifts from various surveys over the range of 0<z<60<z<6, we verify the performance of the photometric redshifts and we find a normalized median absolute deviation of 0.023 and outlier fraction of 3.2%. The SPLASH-SXDF catalog is a valuable, publicly available resource that is perfectly suited for studying galaxies in the early universe and tracing their evolution through cosmic time. The catalog is available for download from https://z.umn.edu/SXDF .
