Sample variance in photometric redshift calibration: cosmological biases and survey requirements
We use N-body/photometric galaxy simulations to examine the impact of sample variance of spectroscopic redshift samples on the accuracy of photometric redshift (photo-z) determination and calibration of photo-z errors. We estimate the biases in the cosmological parameter constraints from weak lensing and derive requirements on the spectroscopic follow-up for three different photo-z algorithms c...
متن کاملSpectroscopic failures in photometric redshift calibration: cosmological biases and survey requirements
We use N-body-spectrophotometric simulations to investigate the impact of incompleteness and incorrect redshifts in spectroscopic surveys on photometric redshift training and calibration and the resulting effects on cosmological parameter estimation from weak lensing shear–shear correlations. The photometry of the simulations is modelled after the upcoming Dark Energy Survey and the spectroscop...
متن کاملPhotometric Redshift Biases from Galaxy Evolution
Proposed cosmological surveys will make use of photometric redshifts of galaxies that are significantly fainter than any complete spectroscopic redshift surveys that exist to train the photo-z methods. We investigate the photo-z biases that result from known differences between the faint and bright populations: a rise in active galactic nucleus (AGN) activity toward higher redshift, and a metal...
متن کاملCatastrophic photometric redshift errors: weak-lensing survey requirements
We study the sensitivity of weak-lensing surveys to the effects of catastrophic redshift errors – cases where the true redshift is mis-estimated by a significant amount. To compute the biases in cosmological parameters, we adopt an efficient linearized analysis where the redshift errors are directly related to shifts in the weak-lensing convergence power spectra. We estimate the number Nspec of...
