Calibration of weak-lensing shear in the Kilo-Degree Survey

Calibration of weak-lensing shear in the Kilo-Degree Survey

We describe and test the pipeline used to measure the weak lensing shear signal from the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS). It includes a novel method of `self-calibration' that partially corrects for the effect of noise bias. We also discuss the `weight bias' that may arise in optimally-weighted...
