Distributions of galaxy parameters measured in our VIS-like noisy image simulations. The panels show histograms of galaxy magnitudes (m, top left), half-light radius (r_h, top middle), Sérsic index (n, top right), ellipticity components (ϵ₁, ϵ₂, middle left, middle middle), ellipticity modulus (|ϵ|, middle right), distance to nearest bright galaxy (θ, bottom left), and distance to nearest bright galaxy without clustering (bottom middle). Blue histograms correspond to bright galaxies and red to faint galaxies lying within 3″ of a bright one. For this figure, bright galaxies were measured in simulations including only galaxies with 20.5 ≤ m ≤ 24.5, and faint galaxies were measured in simulations including only galaxies with 24.5 <  m ≤ 29 (see text for details).
