Intrinsic correlations of galaxy sizes and luminosities in weak lensing

Correlations of the observed sizes and luminosities of galaxies can be used to estimate the magnification that arises through weak gravitational lensing. However, the intrinsic properties of galaxies can be similarly correlated through local physical effects, and these present a possible contaminati...
