This repository contains the photometric redshift catalogues presented in Beck et al., 2017 - On the realistic validation of photometric redshifts, or why Teddy will never be Happy.
This is one of the products of the third edition of the COIN Residence Program, which took place in August/2016 in Budapest (Hungary).
Any questions/suggestions should be sent to [email protected] .
A general overview of both catalogues is given bellow. Check the individual folders for detailed information on the files presented here.
This catalogue was designed to isolate the effect of limited spectroscopic sample coverage in colour/magnitude space.
It is constructed from the SDSS DR12 spectroscopic sample and is maintained by Chieh-An Lin (CEA, France)
This catalogue was designed to reproduce the effect of distinct photometric error distributions and their convolution with colour/magnitude space coverage between the spectroscopic and photometric samples.
All photometry was taken from SDSS DR12, and spectroscopy was gathered from a set of different sources (see Beck et al., 2017 for further details).
Happy is maintained by Robert Beck (ELTE, Hungary).
