Abstract

The Phoenix Deep Survey (PDS) is a multiwavelength survey based on deep 1.4 GHz radio observations used to identify a large sample of star forming galaxies to z=1. Photometric redshifts are estimated for the optical counterparts to the radio-detected galaxies, and their uncertainties quantified by comparison with spectroscopic redshift measurements. The photometric redshift estimates and associated best-fitting spectral energy distributions are used in a stacking analysis exploring the mean radio properties of U-band selected galaxies. Average flux densities of a few microJy are measured.
