Left panel: multiplicative bias after METADETECTION as a function of magnitude, with galaxies selected by the input magnitude (black) or the observed magnitude (red). Right panel: multiplicative bias for galaxies with 20 < m_AUTO < 24.5 as a function or r_sep, the distance to the nearest neighbour in the input catalogue (black points) and the distance to the nearest detected galaxy (red points). The light coloured points indicate the corresponding results for METACALIBRATION. In the case of METADETECTION the biases show no trend with magnitude or distance to the nearest galaxy, and are consistent with zero.
