Testing photometric redshift measurements with filter definition of the Chinese Space Station Optical Survey (CSS-OS)

Abstract

The Chinese Space Station Optical Survey (CSS-OS) is a major science project of the Space Application System of the China Manned Space Program. This survey is planned to perform both photometric imaging and slitless spectroscopic observations, and it will focus on different cosmological and astronomical goals. Most of these goals are tightly dependent on the accuracy of photometric redshift (photo-z) measurement, especially for the weak gravitational lensing survey as a main science driver. In this work, we assess if the current filter definition can provide accurate photo-z measurement to meet the science requirement. We use the COSMOS galaxy catalog to create a mock catalog for the CSS-OS. We compare different photo-z codes and fitting methods that using the spectral energy distribution (SED) template-fitting technique, and choose to use a modified LePhare code in photo-z fitting process. Then we investigate the CSS-OS photo-z accuracy in certain ranges of filter parameters, such as band position, width, and slope. We find that the current CSS-OS filter definition can achieve reasonably good photo-z results with sigma_z~0.02 and outlier fraction ~3%.
