This KiDS data are based on data products from observations made with ESO Telescopes at the La Silla Paranal Observatory under programme IDs 177.A-3016, 177.A-3017, and 177.A-3018. Computations for the SLICS N -body simulations (now publicly available; http://slics.roe.ac.uk ) were performed in part on the Orcinus supercomputer at the WestGrid High Performance Computing (HPC) Consortium ( www.westgrid.ca ), in part on the General Purpose Cluster supercomputer at the SciNet HPC Consortium. SciNet is funded by: the Canada Foundation for Innovation under the auspices of Compute Canada; the Government of Ontario; Ontario Research Fund – Research Excellence; and the University of Toronto. All authors contributed to the development and writing of this paper. The authorship list is given in three groups: the lead authors (BG, CH, JHD, and FS), followed by two alphabetical groups. The first alphabetical group includes those who are key contributors to both the scientific analysis and the data products. The second group covers those who have either made a significant contribution to the data products, or to the scientific analysis.
