We describe the construction of a template set of spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for the estimation of photometric redshifts of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) with a Bayesian template fitting method. By examining the color properties of several publicly available SED sets within a redshift range of 00.15) of 0.12%. We show that templates that optimally describe the brightest galaxies (-24.5View original: http://arxiv.org/abs/1303.3005
