论文摘要

（删节）预计欧几里得任务将在三个深地域发现数千个Z> 6个星系，共同覆盖约40 deg2区域。但是，欧几里得频段数量有限，辅助数据的可用性可能会使Z> 6个星系具有挑战性。在这项工作中，我们评估了欧几里德深度调查中Z> 6个星系期望的中间红移星系（Z = 1-5.8）的污染程度。这项研究基于从Ultravista Ultra-Deep调查中选择的〜0.7 deg2区域的Z = 1-8的〜176,000个真实星系，约为96,000个模拟星系，具有25.3 $ \ leq $ h <27.0，完全涵盖了在Euclid深入调查中探讨的范围。我们从基准，28波段光度法和拟合光谱能量分布（SED）模拟欧几里得和辅助光度法到这些模拟数据的各种组合。我们的研究表明，仅使用欧几里得数据鉴定Z> 6将非常有效，对于明亮（微弱）星系，Z> 6恢复91（88）％。对于紫外的明亮样品，单独使用欧几里得观察到的明显z> 6星系中Z = 1-5.8污染物的百分比为18％，通过包括超深鲁宾（Spitzer）光度法将其降低至4（13）％。相反，对于微弱的模拟样本，仅在39％的情况下，仅使用欧几里得的污染分数要高得多，并且在包括超深鲁宾数据时将其降至7％。对于类似于紫外线的明亮星系，我们发现欧几里得（I-Y）> 2.8和（Y-J）<1.4颜色标准可以将污染物与真实的Z> 6星系区分开，尽管这些污染物仅适用于54％的污染物，因为许多污染物的颜色不受约束（I-Y）。在最乐观的情况下，这些切割将污染分数减少到1％，同时保留了81％的基准Z> 6样本。对于微弱的模拟样本，颜色切割是不可行的。

(Abridged) The Euclid mission is expected to discover thousands of z>6 galaxies in three Deep Fields, which together will cover a ~40 deg2 area. However, the limited number of Euclid bands and availability of ancillary data could make the identification of z>6 galaxies challenging. In this work, we assess the degree of contamination by intermediate-redshift galaxies (z=1-5.8) expected for z>6 galaxies within the Euclid Deep Survey. This study is based on ~176,000 real galaxies at z=1-8 in a ~0.7 deg2 area selected from the UltraVISTA ultra-deep survey, and ~96,000 mock galaxies with 25.3$\leq$H<27.0, which altogether cover the range of magnitudes to be probed in the Euclid Deep Survey. We simulate Euclid and ancillary photometry from the fiducial, 28-band photometry, and fit spectral energy distributions (SEDs) to various combinations of these simulated data. Our study demonstrates that identifying z>6 with Euclid data alone will be very effective, with a z>6 recovery of 91(88)% for bright (faint) galaxies. For the UltraVISTA-like bright sample, the percentage of z=1-5.8 contaminants amongst apparent z>6 galaxies as observed with Euclid alone is 18%, which is reduced to 4(13)% by including ultra-deep Rubin (Spitzer) photometry. Conversely, for the faint mock sample, the contamination fraction with Euclid alone is considerably higher at 39%, and minimized to 7% when including ultra-deep Rubin data. For UltraVISTA-like bright galaxies, we find that Euclid (I-Y)>2.8 and (Y-J)<1.4 colour criteria can separate contaminants from true z>6 galaxies, although these are applicable to only 54% of the contaminants, as many have unconstrained (I-Y) colours. In the most optimistic scenario, these cuts reduce the contamination fraction to 1% whilst preserving 81% of the fiducial z>6 sample. For the faint mock sample, colour cuts are infeasible.
