Top left: comparison of the SERVS 3.6 μm magnitudes vs. the ﹩J-{K}_{{\rm{s}}}﹩ VIDEO colors using the original photometry from the VIDEO-selected input source catalog (Section 3.2). Magnitudes are based on Petrosian, MAG_AUTO, and 1.″9 apertures for VIDEO, CFHTLS-D1, and SERVS, respectively. All sources with detections in the [3.6], ﹩{K}_{{\rm{s}}}﹩, J, u′, g′, and r′ bands (77,809 sources) are shown as gray symbols. Sources that satisfy the 2.7 < z < 3.3 LBG criteria of Steidel et al. (2002) are highlighted in magenta. The population of candidate LBG sources that lie on the stellar locus are likely low-redshift interlopers, such as Galactic halo main-sequence stars (e.g., K subdwarfs; Steidel et al. 2003). Top right: same as the top left panel, except here all magnitudes are based on our new forced photometry. Bottom: same as the middle panel, except the additional 30,198 sources that only have measurements in our new forced-photometry catalog (i.e., those that were upper limits in the original input catalog) are shown in cyan.
