A catalogue of the Chandra Deep Field South
with multi-colour classification and photometric
redshifts from COMBO-17 |

F.; Rix, H.-W.; Cimatti, A.; Hasinger, G.; Szokoly, G. | | Date of Publication (YYYY-MM-DD): | 2004 | | Title of Journal: | Astronomy and Astrophysics | | Volume: | 421 | | Start Page: | 913 | | End Page: | 936 | | Review Status: | not specified | | Audience: | Not Specified | | Abstract / Description: | We present the COMBO-17 object catalogue of
the Chandra Deep Field South for public use,
covering a field which is 31.5 arcmin times; 30
arcmin in size. This catalogue lists astrometry,
photometry in 17 passbands from 350 to 930 nm,
and ground-based morphological data for 63 501
objects. The catalogue also contains
multi-colour classification into the categories
Star, Galaxy and Quasar as well as photometric
redshifts. We include restframe luminosities in
Johnson, SDSS and Bessell passbands and
estimated errors. The redshifts are most reliable
at Rlt;24, where the sample contains
approximately 100 quasars, 1000 stars and 10 000
galaxies. We use nearly 1000 spectroscopically
identified objects in conjunction with detailed
simulations to characterize the performance of
COMBO-17. We show that the selection of quasars,
more generally type-1 AGN, is nearly complete
and minimally contaminated at z=[0.5,5] for
luminosities above MB = -21.7. Their
photometric redshifts are accurate to roughly
5000 km s-1. Galaxy redshifts are
accurate to 1% in delta;z/(1+z) at
Rlt;21. They degrade in quality for
progressively fainter galaxies, reaching
accuracies of 2% for galaxies with R sim; 22
and of 10% for galaxies with Rgt;24. The
selection of stars is complete to R sim; 23,
and deeper for M stars. We also present an
updated discussion of our classification
technique with maps of survey completeness, and
discuss possible failures of the statistical
classification in the faint regime at Rgap; 24. | | Free Keywords: | catalogs; surveys; techniques: photometric;
