The FENIKS Survey: Multi-wavelength Photometric Catalog in the UDS Field, and Catalogs of Photometric Redshifts and Stellar Population Properties

Abstract: We present the construction of a deep multi-wavelength PSF-matched photometric catalog in the UDS field following the final UDS DR11 release. The catalog includes photometry in 24 filters, from the MegaCam-uS (0.38 microns) band to the Spitzer-IRAC (8 microns) band, over 0.9 sq. deg. and with a 5-sigma depth of 25.3 AB in the K-band detection image. The catalog, containing approximately 188,564 (136,235) galaxies at 0.2 < z < 8.0 with stellar mass > 10$^{8}$ solar masses and K-band total magnitude K < 25.2 (24.3) AB, enables a range of extragalactic studies. We also provide photometric redshifts, corresponding redshift probability distributions, and rest-frame absolute magnitudes and colors derived using the template-fitting code eazy-py. Photometric redshift errors are less than 3 to 4 percent at z < 4 across the full brightness range in K-band and stellar mass range 10$^{8}$-10$^{12}$ solar masses. Stellar population properties (e.g., stellar mass, star-formation rate, dust extinction) are derived from the modeling of the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) using the codes FAST and Dense Basis.
