Photo-z estimates

As documented in the SIT-Com tech note “Initial studies of photometric redshifts with LSSTComCam from DP1” (SITCOMTN-154), members of the Rubin Commissioning Science Unit for photometric redshifts have generated photo-z estimates for every galaxy in DP1.

Access to these photo-z estimates from the Rubin Science Platform is available via the LSDB and the Photo-z Server.

Photo-z Server

The LSST Photo-z Server is an online service that is complementary to the Rubin Science Platform (RSP). The PZ Server hosts and produces pz-related lightweight data products and provides data management tools for data sharing and provenance.

The PZ Server provides an API interface that enables users to access photo-z and related data products through Python scripts from any location (pzserver GitHub repository).

See Appendix B.2 of SITCOMTN-154 for more details on accessing the photo-z datasets via the PZ Server.
