Example SEDs for source we classify Tier 3, consistent with emission in filters associated with lower-redshift galaxies. Photometry postage stamps show a continuum filter (top) and an extreme emission filter (bottom) with north up and east left. All postage stamps are 4″ in width and height. Panel (A): source with emission in F200W and F444W, likely a combination of Hβ + [O III] in F200W and He I or Paschen lines in F444W. Panels (B) and (C): galaxies with an emission feature in F200W, likely from Hβ + [O III] at z ∼ 3 and not consistent with the photometric redshift prediction that mistakes the line for a Lyman break in the case of the high-redshift solution or a stellar bump in the case of the very low-redshift solution. Both of these sources pass our EW selection from the contribution to the F277W filter.
