The K correction
read the original 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.

A Comprehensive Study of Morphology and Kinematics in Extended Nebulae Around UV Luminous Quasars at $z\approx1$
Quasar nebulae at z~1 are diverse objects shaped by galaxy interactions, host gas, group environments, and quasar activity, with the largest irregular ones most tied to interactions.

The Hubble sequence in JWST CEERS from unbiased galaxy morphologies
A Hubble-like sequence of galaxy morphologies exists by redshift 4, with low-mass galaxies as persistent star-forming disks and massive galaxies following either stable disk or rapid compaction-quenching paths.

statmorph-lsst: Quantifying and correcting morphological biases in galaxy surveys
Morphological metrics in galaxy images suffer systematic biases from resolution, depth, and noise that can be quantified and corrected empirically, with new metrics proposed to reduce those effects.
