[1] ZFOURGE aims to create a benchmark of properties at z > 1 by deriving 1-2% accurate redshifts of ~60,000 galaxies at 1 < z < 3.
This resulted in inaccurate broadband photometric redshifts in earlier studies.
It will also explore the shape of the stellar mass function to z = 3, find luminous galaxies at z = 6–9, and identify high-redshift 1.5 < z < 2.5 (proto)clusters.
This dataset provides a comprehensive sampling of the 0.3 – 8 micron spectral energy distribution of galaxies.
[7] The 5sigma depth in a circular aperture of D=0.6" in the Ks band is 26.2-26.5 in the CDFS, COSMOS and UDS fields respectively at a typical seeing of ~0.4″.
