Notes. 

(a)

Number of sources with spectroscopic redshift used for photo-z calibration.

(b)

Maximum number of photometric bands used for photo-z determination. In parenthesis, the number of those filters that have a narrow or medium passband.

(c)

Number of extragalactic templates used for photo-z determination.

(d)

Percent fraction of outliers. Outlier threshold criteria defined as |Δz|/(1 + zspec) in parenthesis.

(f)

We refer here to the sub-sample of point-like/variable sources from the total XMM COSMOS catalog (the QSOV sample).

(g)

Low Resolution Templates. The photometric redshift code allows for an interpolation between all templates (galaxy + AGN).

(h)

This magnitude corresponds to roughly the broadband Sloan filter r ~ 24.
