Overview of the shear point estimation for the fiducial simulations. Each point is a case of the VP validation set. Top panels: residuals of the unweighted average ĝ₁ as function of the true shear for the high-⟨S/N⟩ cases (left) and low-⟨S/N⟩ cases (right, on a wider scale). The same residuals are shown as function of and true half-light radius R in the bottom left panel, for the high-⟨S/N⟩ cases. Bottom right panel: absolute value of the shear residuals as function of R and the surface brightness S. Results for ĝ₂ are highly similar.
