We also thank an anonymous referee for a careful and constructive report.he determination of galaxy redshifts in the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) blank-field surveys will mostly rely on photometric estimates, based on the data provided by JWST’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) at 0.6–5.0 μm and Mid Infrared Instrument (MIRI) at λ > 5.0 μm . In this work we analyze the impact of choosing different combinations of NIRCam and MIRI broadband filters (F070W to F770W), as well as having ancillary data at λ < 0.6 μm , on the derived photometric redshifts (zphot) of a total of 5921 real and simulated galaxies, with known input redshifts z = 0–10. We found that observations at λ < 0.6 μm are necessary to control the contamination of high-z samples by low-z interlopers. Adding MIRI (F560W and F770W) photometry to the NIRCam data mitigates the absence of ancillary observations at λ < 0.6 μm and improves the redshift estimation. At z = 7–10, accurate z_(phot) can be obtained with the NIRCam broadbands alone when S/N ≥10, but the z_(phot) quality significantly degrades at S/N ≤ 5. Adding MIRI photometry with 1 mag brighter depth than the NIRCam depth allows for a redshift recovery of 83%–99%, depending on spectral energy distribution type, and its effect is particularly noteworthy for galaxies with nebular emission. The vast majority of NIRCam galaxies with [F150W] = 29 AB mag at z = 7–10 will be detected with MIRI at [F560W, F770W] < 28 mag if these sources are at least mildly evolved or have spectra with emission lines boosting the mid-infrared fluxes.engjournal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.3847/0067-0049/227/2/19https://iopscience.iop.org/https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.06334open access52Goods-south fieldWebb-space-telescopeExtragalactic legacy surveyLy-alpha emittersVLT deep surveyKeck spectroscopyMidinfrared instrumentOptical spectroscopyStellar populationsGalaxiesAstrofísicaAstronomía (Física)
