Title:Clustering-based redshifts of WISE galaxies and quasars
Topic:Synergy with other surveys
Abstract:We present the clustering-based redshift estimation of millions of extragalactic sources detected by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) using the data-driven method proposed by Menard et al. (2013). This technique derives redshift distributions from measurements of spatial correlations without any assumption on spectral energy distributions. Applying it to the entire WISE dataset as a function of brightness and colors we present the redshift distributions of WISE sources, including passive & star-bust galaxies as well as obscure and unobscured quasars.
