$\color{red}{K-correction }$: it converts measurements of astronomical objects into $\color{red}{their\ respective\ rest\ frames}$. The correction acts on that object’s observed $\color{red}{magnitude}$ (or equivalently, its flux). Why should appeal to K-correction? Because astronomical observation often measure through a single filter or bandpass, observers only measure a fraction of the total spectrum, redshifted into the frame of the observer. Formula $K_{corr}=(m-M)-5(log_{10}D_L-1)$ Where, $D_L$ is the luminosity distance measured in parsecs
