We present over 5,000 galaxy spectro-photo-z’s (SPZ’s) using grism spectra from the HST/ACS Probing Evolution and Reionization Spectroscopically (PEARS) grism survey. PEARS covers nine ACS pointings at multiple position angles in the two GOODS fields. For i<27.0 mag, redshifts are computed using a combination of the R≈100 PEARS grism spectra and UV-optical-infrared broadband photometry. The addition of the grism spectra, which cover a wavelength range of 6000-9500 angstroms, provides improved redshift determination over traditional broadband-only photometric redshifts. In conjunction with our deeper pointing in the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field (i<28 mag), these SPZ’s are used to construct the galaxy luminosity function at z=1,which goes 1.5-2 magnitudes fainter than can be done with ground-based spectroscopy.
PEARS is an HST Treasury Program and is supported by HST grant 10530.
