Increasingly giant areas in cosmic shear surveys lead to a discount of statistical errors, necessitating to manage systematic errors increasingly better. One of these systematic results was initially studied by Hartlap et al. 2011, specifically that image overlap with (vivid foreground) galaxies may prevent some distant (source) galaxies to remain undetected. Since this overlap is extra likely to occur in areas of high foreground density - which are typically the regions wherein the shear is largest - this detection bias would cause an underestimation of the estimated shear correlation perform. This detection bias provides to the potential systematic of image blending, the place close by pairs or multiplets of pictures render shear estimates more uncertain and thus could trigger a discount of their statistical weight. Based on simulations with data from the Kilo-Degree Survey, we research the conditions underneath which photographs are usually not detected. We find an approximate analytic expression for the detection chance when it comes to the separation and brightness ratio to the neighbouring galaxies.
