Number of sources remaining in our catalogues after each selection step, beginning from the initial VISTA Y + J-selected catalogue.

Notes. The first column shows the selection step. The second column shows the number of objects remaining. For the SED fitting steps (and the visual selection), we conduct two different selections: the U-only selection, where Euclid photometry is not included, and the U + E selection, where Euclid photometry is included. In both selections, ancillary HSC and Spitzer data are also used as required. For the U + E selection, we restrict the catalogue to the 0.65 deg2Euclid footprint. The high-redshift (z > 6) cut is defined as the best-fitting SED solution having its photometric redshift z > 6, χ2 < 11.3 (U-only) or 17.5 (U + E), and Δχ2 > 4 between the low- and high-redshift solutions.
