Shear calibration biases in weak-lensing surveys

Shear calibration biases in weak-lensing surveys

We investigate biases induced by the conversion between the observed image shape to shear distortion in current weak lensing analysis methods. Such overall calibration biases cannot be detected by the standard tests such as E/B decomposition or calibration with stars. We find that the non-Gaussianity of point spread function has …
