The FENIKS Survey: Multiwavelength Photometric Catalog in the UDS Field, and Catalogs of Photometric Redshifts and Stellar Population Properties

Abstract

We present the construction of a deep multiwavelength point-spread-function-matched photometric catalog in the Ultra-Deep Survey (UDS) field following the final UKIDSS UDS release. The catalog includes photometry in 24 filters, from the MegaCam- uS 0.38 μ m band to the Spitzer-IRAC 8 μ m band, over ∼0.9 deg 2 and with a 5 σ depth of 25.3 AB in the K -band detection image. The catalog, containing ≈188,564 (136,235) galaxies at 0.2 < z < 8.0 with stellar mass log ( M * / M ⊙ ) > 8 and K -band total magnitude K < 25.2 (24.3) AB, enables a range of extragalactic studies. We also provide photometric redshifts, corresponding redshift probability distributions, and rest-frame absolute magnitudes and colors derived using the template-fitting code eazy-py . Photometric redshift errors are less than 3%−4% at z < 4 across the full brightness range in the K band and stellar mass range 8 < 12 . Stellar population properties (e.g., stellar mass, star formation rate, dust extinction) are derived from the modeling of the spectral energy distributions using the codes FAST and Dense Basis.
