Systematic errors in modeling the PSF from images of +stars and in interpolating the PSF from the positions of stars to the positions of +galaxies propagate to systematic errors in the galaxy shear.

From the LSST SRD requirements on residual systematics in the galaxy shear-shear correlation function one can specify the level of residual shear systematics at
