Origins of weak lensing systematics, and requirements on future instrumentation (or knowledge of instrumentation)

The first half of this paper explores the origin of systematic biases in the measurement of weak gravitational lensing. Compared to previous work, we expand the investigation of PSF instability and fold in for the first time the effects of non-idealities in electronic imaging detectors and imperfect...
