Examples of EELGs in confidence Tier 2A, identified to have extreme emission in two filters, but with low-redshift z phot solutions. 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): extreme emission associated with Hα in F277W and Hβ + [O III] in F410M, consistent with z ≈ 5. In the F200W continuum postage stamp, this source appears to be two close-companion EELGs. Panels (B) and (C): extreme emission associated with Hα in F277W and Hβ + [O III] in F356W, consistent with z ≈ 4–5. The observed SEDs of these sources are very similar to the spectroscopically confirmed EELG shown in panel (A) of Figure 3, suggesting that they are bona fide EELGs but with incorrect photometric redshifts.
