17 Oct 2002 | | Subject: | astro-ph | | Affiliation: | NYU), Ivan K. Baldry (JHU), Michael R. Blanton (NYU), Daniel J. Eisenstein (Steward | | Abstract: | The K correction "corrects" for the fact that sources observed at different redshifts are, in general, compared with standards or each other at different rest-frame wavelengths. It is part of the relation between the emitted- or rest-frame absolute magnitude of a source in one broad photometric bandpass to the observed-frame apparent magnitude of the same source in another broad bandpass. This short pedagogical paper provides definitions of and equations for the K correction. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0210394 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
