Position-angle only weak lensing shear estimator
The following file contains code (in IDL), along with an example dataset, that implements the position-angle only shear estimator first presented in Whittaker et al. (2014). The performance of the estimator was subsequently demonstrated on the GREAT3 simulations in Whittaker et al. (2015).angle_only_estimator.tar.gz (85 MB)
