<p><strong>General information</strong></p> <p>Photometric catalogs with bagpipes output used to compute SMFs in:</p> <p><a href="https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024arXiv240308872W/abstract">https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024arXiv240308872W/abstract</a></p> <p>Please cite this paper when using the catalogs.</p> <p>See there for details on the original catalog production from the images which were obtained from the DJA:</p> <p><a href="https://dawn-cph.github.io/dja/imaging/v7/">https://dawn-cph.github.io/dja/imaging/v7/</a></p> <p>A description of the catalog columns is provided in the README file and on github:</p> <p><a href="https://github.com/weibelan/W24-SMF-paper-catalogs">https://github.com/weibelan/W24-SMF-paper-catalogs </a></p> <p>where you can also find another version of the catalogs and the corresponding inferred SMF-parameters based on a double power-law plus burst SFH-model in bagpipes (instead of the default delayed-tau model).</p> <p><strong>Photometric catalogs</strong></p> <p>There are five photometric catalogs, each named according to the field it covers (The PRIMER fields, CEERS and GOODS-S). Note that there are two catalogs covering the GOODS-S field. "jades-gs_*" roughly covers the JADES DR1 footprint while "gds-sw_*" covers a wider region to the southwest with data from JADES and various other surveys. While the underlying mosaics overlap, we have removed duplicate sources from the "gds-sw_*" catalog.</p> <p>Here, we only share a subset of each catalog, selected to contain objects at z &gt; 3. The selection criteria are outlined in Section 2.3 of the paper. In terms of the catalog columns, the selection corresponds to</p> <p>1) z_phot_eazy &gt; 3<br>2) P(z_phot_eazy &gt; 2.5) &gt; 0.8<br>3) sn_lw_det_img &gt; 10<br>4) flag_f115w = flag_f150w = flag_f200w = flag_f277w = flag_f356w = flag_f444w = 0<br>5) sn_flag = stellar_flag = hugekron_flag = nofit_flag = junk_flag = 0</p> <p>Therefore, use_phot=1 and the '*_flag' columns are =0 for all the objects in the catalogs by design of the selection.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Stellar Mass Function Parameters</strong></p> <p>The files "smf_*" contain the measured number density of galaxies as a function of stellar mass and in one file per redshift bin.</p> <div>"schechter_params_n1000_deltau_sfh_sngt10_nolrds.cat" contains the best-fitting Schechter parameters in each redshift bin.</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div> <div>"csmd_n1000_deltau_sfh_sngt10_nolrds.cat" contains the measured stellar mass density as a function of redshift.</div> </div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>"n1000" refers to the sampling of all the parameters from the bagpipes posterior distributions, using 1000 draws respectively.</div>
