Summary of the selection functions applied in MICE2 compared to the literature selection functions for the WiggleZ sample.

Selection type WiggleZ selection MICE2 object selection Comments
Exclusion g <  22.5 g <  22.5
i <  21.5 i <  21.5
r − i <  g − r − 0.1 r − i <  g − r − 0.1
r − i <  0.4 r − i <  0.4
g − r >  0.6 g − r >  0.6
r − z <  0.7(g − r) r − z <  0.7(g − r)

Inclusion NUV <  22.8 UV selection is mimicked by weighted sampling to match the n(z)’s.
20.0 <  r <  22.5 20.0 <  r <  22.5
FUV − NUV >  1 or no FUV
−0.5 <  NUV − r <  2.0
S/NNUV >  3.0

Notes. All selections here invoke “and” logic: rule1& rule2& etc. Deliberate adjustments that yield a better match in the simulated and real redshift distributions are highlighted in bold-face. A long dash (—) indicates a selection which cannot be applied to MICE2.
