Near-IR Weak-lensing (NIRWL) Measurements in the CANDELS Fields. I. Point-spread Function Modeling and Systematics

We have undertaken a near-IR weak-lensing (NIRWL) analysis of the CANDELS HST/WFC3-IR F160W observations. With the Gaia proper motion–corrected catalog as an astrometric reference, we updated the astrometry of the five CANDELS mosaics and achieved an absolute alignment within 0.″02 ± 0.″02, on avera...
