We study the accuracy with which weak-lensing measurements could be made from a future space-based survey, predicting the subsequent precision of three-dimensional dark matter maps, projected two-dimensional dark matter maps, and mass-selected cluste...

Image simulation with shapelets (2004)
Journal Article
Massey, R., Refregier, A., Conselice, C., & Bacon, D. (2004). Image simulation with shapelets. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 348(1), 214-226. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2004.07353.x

We present a method to simulate deep sky images, including realistic galaxy morphologies and telescope characteristics. To achieve a wide diversity of simulated galaxy morphologies, we first use the shapelets formalism to parametrize the shapes of al... Read More about Image simulation with shapelets.
