Detailed Description of the Data Product

This is an output data product that stores the estimates of purity and completeness for the selected Wide samples.

Observationally, we define the Halpha target sample with the following criteria applied to the Deep field catalog.

• Photometric selection: \(H<24\).

• Total line flux of the Halpha complex (Halpha + [NII]) is greater than 2e-16 erg/s/cm2.

• Redshift in the range \(0.9 < z < 1.8\).

The selected sample is constructed based on the configuration of SEL. The threshold for a correct redshift estimate is \(|z_{spe} - z_{true}| < 0.003\). Note that there is no \(1+z\) scaling.

Completeness is the sample completeness defined as the fraction of the selected sample that are truly part of the target sample and have a correct redshift measurement: \(C = \frac{N_{\rm selected, correct}{N_{\rm targets}}\).

Purity is the redshift purity defined as the fraction of the selected sample that have a correct resdhift measurement: \(P = \frac{N_{\rm selected, correct-z}{N_{\rm selected}}\).

The purity and completeness are estimated using the Euclid Deep fields, and so are strictly relevant only at the locations of the Deep fields. The purity and completeness statistics are not extrapolated over the Wide survey. The VMSP random catalog may be used to estimate purity and completeness at an arbitrary position.
