Notes. n ¯ eff $ \overline{n}_{\mathrm{eff}} $ is the mean galaxy number density for a given tomographic bin, σ ¯ ϵ / 2 $ \overline{\sigma}_{\epsilon}/\sqrt{2} $ is the mean per-component shape dispersion, aneff and bneff are the slope and y-intercept, respectively, for the linear interpolation of the galaxy density as a function of the root-mean-square of the background noise in the KiDS catalogue, σrms, according to Eq. (28), while aσϵ and bσϵ are the parameters to linearly interpolate σϵ from σrms according to Eq. (29).
