Assessing the photometric redshift precision of the S-PLUS survey: the Stripe-82 as a test-case

In this paper we present a thorough discussion about the photometric redshift (photo-z) performance of the Southern Photometric Local Universe Survey (S-PLUS). This survey combines a 7 narrow + 5 broad passband filter system, with a typical photometric-depth of r\(\sim\)21 AB. For this exercise, we utilize the Data Release 1 (DR1), corresponding to 336 deg\(^{2}\) from the Stripe-82 region. We rely on the \texttt{BPZ2} code to compute our estimates, using a new library of SED models, which includes additional templates for quiescent galaxies. When compared to a spectroscopic redshift control sample of \(\sim\)100k galaxies, we find a precision of \(\sigma_{z}
