The backgrounds listed in MJy/sr are not from IRAC, but from Reach.

A comparison between what we get when we directly subtract the outrigger bcds (green) vs subtracting off the polynomial fits (red). Here, I've included n2798, n4826, n5408 in my suite of background templates. So my "interpolation" here actually just simply selects the (polynomial-fitted) background outriggers for these three galaxies. [ The magenta curves represent the input specta, ie. non-bg-subtracted ]

Same as just above, but this time WITHOUT including n2798, n4826, and n5408 as part of the suite of background templates.

The First Eight, with and without bg subtraction.
