| Abstract | Obtaining accurate and unbiased photometric redshifts (photo-z’s) will be important for a wide variety of LSST science, and is crucial for weak lensing studies. Other white papers are examining the improvements in photo-z measurements that can result from deeper photometry, particularly in uzy (e.g. Gawiser et al. 2011). While this is very important for weak lensing, and we urge serious consideration of those conclusions, in order to avoid duplication we have focused instead on a different question: how well we can calibrate redshift distributions for the LSST main survey using only data in the deep drilling fields (DDFs). |
