Tuesday. Slacking off on the astroph. Must ... turn ... brain ... on ... I want to generate an MEF so that I can to get SExtractor working with it, then with SCAMP. Then report to Gary!

Precision simulation of ground-based lensing data using observations from space
Mandelbaum, Hirata, Leauthaud, Massey, Rhodes
SHERA (SHEar Reconvolution Analysis) simulates ground-based data, starting from space-based images from COSMOS (CTE-corrected images used), and taking into account the HST PSF. Optionally apply weak lensing shear. Allows for a precise, realistic assessment of systematic errors due to the method of data processing, given user-suppled observational conditions and real galaxy morphologies. Can also test error estimates and parameter degeneracies. Software publicly released.
* Good job Rachel!
