Reconstructing Galaxy Spectral Energy Distributions from Broadband Photometry
Reconstructing Galaxy Spectral Energy Distributions from Broadband Photometry
We present a novel approach to photometric redshifts, one that merges the advantages of both the template-fitting and empirical-fitting algorithms without any of their disadvantages. This technique derives a set of templates describing the spectral energy distributions of galaxies from a catalog with both multicolor photometry and spectroscopic redshifts. The …
