A Bayesian Photometric Redshift Technique for Mm-Selected Galaxies

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 301))

Abstract

We present a Bayesian technique, which uses a luminosity function prior, to calculate photometric redshifts for optically-obscured starburst galaxies. An example is compared with previous Monte Carlo simulations.

Partial funding for this work was provided by NSERC grant PGSB-253705-2002, CONACyT grants 39953-F and 39548-F, INAOE, and the conference local organizing committee.
