Problems using ratios of galaxy shape moments on requirements for weak lensing surveys

Holger Israel, Thomas D. Kitching, Richard Massey

The shapes of galaxies can be quantified by ratios of their quadrupole moments. For faint galaxies, observational noise can make the denominator close to zero, so the ratios become…
