Notes. The sample sizes refer to the full photometric selection.

(a)

Flux-limited galaxy sample (rAUTO < 20); see Sect. 2.3 for other details of the selection.

(b)

Using the KiDS MASK flag, removing the sources meeting the condition (MASK & 28668) > 0 (bit-wise).

(c)

Selected using the r-band absolute magnitude and rest-frame u − g color based on LEPHARE output; see Sect. 4 for details.

(d)

Selected using the Bayesian model detailed in Vakili et al. (2020), jointly encompassing the “dense” and “luminous” samples. Numbers refer to the LRGs overlapping with the KiDS-Bright sample and the photo-z statistics are based on the ANNz2 derivations.
