... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...

... GOODS unites extremely deep observations from NASA's Great Observatories, Spitzer , Hubble , and Chandra , ESA's Herschel and XMM-Newton , and from the most powerful ground-based facilities, to survey the distant universe to the faintest flux limits across the electromagnetic spectrum. ... The space-based observations are complemented by ground-based imaging and spectroscopy, including extensive commitments of ESO and NOAO observing time. ... 2010-04-10: Deep VLA 1.4 GHz data for GOODS-North . ...
