Determining the distribution of redshifts for galaxies in wide-field photometric surveys is essential for robust cosmological studies of weak gravitational lensing. We present the methodology, calibrated redshift distributions, and…

Broadband photometry offers a time and cost effective method to reconstruct the continuum emission of celestial objects. Thus, photometric redshift estimation has supported the scientific exploitation of extragalactic multiwavelength…

To compare photometric properties of galaxies at different redshifts, we need to correct fluxes for the change of effective rest-frame wavelengths of filter bandpasses, called $k$-corrections. At redshifts $z>0.3$, the wavelength shift…

We explore the utility of future photometric redshift imaging surveys for delineating the large-scale structure of the Universe, and assess the resulting constraints on the cosmological model. We perform two complementary types of analysis:…
