Magnification Bias Reveals Severe Contamination in Hubble Frontier Field Photo-z Catalogs by Jiashuo Zhang, Jeremy Lim, Tom Broadhurst, Sung Kei Li, Man Cheung Li, Giorgio Manzoni, Rogier Windhorst

“…While we were able to reproduce a lower- z lensed sample, it was found ∼56% of the 3.5 <  z _phot  < 5.5 samples are likely low- z contaminants. Widely adopted Lyman-break-galaxy-like selection rules in the literature may give a “cleaner” sample magnification-bias-wise but we warn readers the resulting sample would also be less complete. …”
