Analysis

This paper investigates the potential of the SPHEREx and 7DS surveys to improve redshift estimation using low-resolution spectra. It compares various photometric redshift methods, including template-fitting and machine learning, using simulated data. The study highlights the benefits of combining data from both surveys and identifies factors affecting redshift measurements, such as dust extinction and flux uncertainty. The findings demonstrate the value of these surveys for creating a rich redshift catalog and advancing cosmological studies.

The combined SPHEREx + 7DS dataset significantly improves redshift estimation compared to using either the SPHEREx or 7DS datasets alone, highlighting the synergy between the two surveys.
