Towards emulating cosmic shear data: revisiting the calibration of the shear measurements for the Kilo-Degree Survey

Exploiting the full statistical power of future cosmic shear surveys will necessitate improvements to the accuracy with which the gravitational lensing signal is measured. We present a framework for calibrating shear with image simulations that demonstrates the importance of including realistic corr...
