Weak gravitational lensing with DEIMOS
Peter Melchior, Massimo Viola, Björn Malte Schäfer +1
We introduce a novel method for weak-lensing measurements, which is based on a mathematically exact deconvolution of the moments of the apparent brightness distribution of galaxies…

Biases in, and corrections to, KSB shear measurements
M. Viola, P. Melchior, M. Bartelmann
We analyse the KSB method to estimate gravitational shear from surface-brightness moments of small and noisy galaxy images. We identify three potentially problematic assumptions. T…
