Fractional bias of the shear correlation functions for the HLR criterion, without (upper panels) and with (lower panels) correction for the change of the redshift distribution. Thick dashed lines are for α = 1, thick solid lines for α = 3 without seeing. For the respective thin lines a seeing of was assumed. The shaded region shows the 1σ-error. For better visibility, it is shown only for the case of α = 3, θ_see = 0′′. The error bars for the other cases are very similar.
