Shear measurement bias: I. Dependencies on methods, simulation parameters, and measured parameters

Frédéric Courbin, Marc Gentile

We present a study of the dependencies of shear bias on simulation (input) and measured (output) parameters, noise, point-spread function anisotropy, pixel size, and the model bias coming from two different and independent galaxy shape estimators. We used ...

Grayscale e-beam lithography: Effects of a delayed development for well-controlled 3D patterning

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Grayscale electron beam lithography (g-EBL) is a fabrication technique that allows for tunable control of resist topography. In most cases, the height of the structures is in the submicron regime. Here, we present an extensive experimental characterization ...
