We have analysed 5-epoch GOODS HST-ACS B, V, I_775 and z datasets (V1.0 release), in conjunction with existing VLT-ISAAC imaging in the J, H and Ks bands, to derive estimated redshifts for the sample of 198 Extremely Red Galaxies (ERGs)…

Sub-milllimetre galaxies (SMGs) are some of the most luminous star-forming galaxies in the Universe, however their properties remain hard to determine due to the difficulty of identifying their optical\slash near-infrared counterparts. One…

We apply clustering-based redshift inference to all extended sources from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric catalogue, down to magnitude r = 22. We map the relationships between colours and redshift, without assumption of the…

(abridged) We present deep Spitzer mid-infrared spectroscopy, along with 16, 24, 70, and 850um photometry, for 22 galaxies located in GOODS-N. The sample spans a redshift range of 0.6 < z < 2.6, 24um flux densities between ~0.2-1.2 mJy, and…

We forecast the ability of bispectrum estimators to constrain primordial non-Gaussianity using future photometric galaxy redshift surveys. A full-sky survey with photometric redshift resolution of $\sigma_z/(1+z)=0.05$ in the redshift range…

We show how to enhance the redshift accuracy of surveys consisting of tracers with highly uncertain positions along the line of sight. Photometric surveys with redshift uncertainty delta_z ~ 0.03 can yield final redshift uncertainties of…

Using galaxy sample observed by the BATC large-field multi-color sky survey and galaxy data of SDSS in the overlapped fields, we study the dependence of the restframe $r$-band galaxy luminosity function on redshift and on large-scale…

The aim of this paper is to investigate ways to optimize the accuracy of photometric redshifts for a SNAP like mission. We focus on how the accuracy of the photometric redshifts depends on the magnitude limit and signal-to-noise ratio,…

We present the basic data for a large ground-based spectroscopic survey for z~3 ``Lyman break galaxies'' (LBGs), photometrically selected using rest-UV colors from very deep images in 17 high Galactic latitude fields. The total survey…
