Comparison between zspec and zphot, for spectroscopic galaxies (and stars) with [3.6] < 25 (empty circles). Only robust spectroscopic measurements (CL > 95%) are plotted, and coloured according to their survey: zCOSMOS faint (Lilly et al., in prep.), VUDS (Le Fèvre et al. 2015), FMOS-COSMOS (Silverman et al. 2015), a survey with the FORS2 spectrograph at VLT (Comparat et al. 2015), a survey with DEIMOS at Keck II (Capak et al., in prep.), and grism spectroscopy from HST/WFC3 (Krogager et al. 2014). In the background we also show the comparison between zspec and the original photometric redshifts of L16 (grey crosses). Upper panel: in addition to zphot versus zspec, in the bottom-left corner we report the number of objects considered in this test (Ngal), the σz error defined as the NMAD, and the fraction of catastrophic outliers (η). The dashed line is the zphot = zspec reference. Lower panel: scatter of the zphotzspec values, with the same colour-code as in the upper panel. Horizontal lines mark differences (weighed by 1 + zspec) equal to ±0.05 (dotted lines) or null (dashed line).
