Summary of VUDS redshift reliability flags.
zflag | Reliability | Comments |
|
||
4 | 100% | High S/N with many absorption and/or emission lines; strong cross-correlation signal with excellent |
continuum match to templates | ||
3 | 95–100% | Moderate to high S/N with several absorption and/or emission lines; strong cross-correlation signal with good to |
excellent continuum match to templates | ||
2 | 70–80% | Moderate S/N with matching absorption and/or emission lines; |
good cross-correlation signal | ||
1 | 40–50% | Low S/N lines or continuum; weak to moderate cross-correlation signal |
9 | 80 % | Single emission line spectrum; the line has moderate to high S/N. |
Redshift is assigned based on the exclusion of alternative solutions | ||
in the absence of other expected key features | ||
1X | – | Like flag X but spectral features indicate the presence of an AGN |
2X | – | Like flag X but for a secondary target falling in the slit of a primary |
3X | – | Like flag X but the spectrum shows two line systems at different redshifts, the highest of the two redshifts is given as zspec |
4X | – | Like flag X but the two spectra are close in velocity indicative of a physical pair |
-2X | – | Like flag X but for a secondary target falling in the slit of a primary |
but not present in the photometric parent catalogue |
