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.

  1. TDEs on FIRE: Illuminating the Cosmic Evolution of Tidal Disruption Rates

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    FIRE-2 simulations show per-galaxy tidal disruption rates peak near z=2.5 at 4e-4 per year, correlate with SFR and central density, and remain high in satellite galaxies at early times.

  2. \texttt{calypso}: a Parameter-Conditioned Stochastic Surrogate Model for Circumbinary Accretion Time-Series

    astro-ph.HE 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Calypso is a parameter-conditioned stochastic surrogate model for circumbinary accretion flows using PCA and multivariate Gaussian modeling, released as open-source software with a closed-form likelihood for parameter...

  3. Impact and measurability of linear relativistic effects in galaxy surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Neglecting linear GR effects biases f_NL at 1–3σ for Euclid/SPHEREx in SFB forecasts; multi-tracer improves Doppler detection and weakly breaks b_ϕ f_NL degeneracy.

  4. statmorph-lsst: Quantifying and correcting morphological biases in galaxy surveys

    astro-ph.GA 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  5. Redshift tomography of the kinematic matter dipole

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Redshift bin edges create a Doppler-boost boundary term in the kinematic matter dipole that can match or reverse the standard Ellis-Baldwin signal.

  6. A gravitational-wave measurement of the Hubble constant following the second observing run of Advanced LIGO and Virgo

    astro-ph.CO 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Combining the neutron-star merger GW170817 with six black-hole mergers and galaxy catalogs yields a gravitational-wave Hubble constant of about 69 km/s/Mpc, with a 68% interval of roughly 61 to 86 km/s/Mpc.

  7. ZTF SN Ia DR2 follow-up: early excess in Type Ia supernova light curves

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Up to about a quarter of Type Ia supernovae may have an early light-curve bump, but the candidate list depends strongly on the detection method and neither leading explosion model is clearly preferred.

  8. Early Multiwavelength Observations of AT 2026fgk: The Luminous Afterglow to Sub-luminous GRB 260310A, Identified Independently of a Gamma-ray Trigger

    astro-ph.HE 2026-06 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    First blind optical identification of a z=0.153 sub-luminous GRB afterglow with Ic-BL SN, yielding a volumetric rate consistent with on-axis high-luminosity long GRBs.

  9. DESI DR2 Galaxy Luminosity Functions

    astro-ph.GA 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    DESI DR2 yields galaxy luminosity functions showing non-power-law faint-end behavior and bright-end deviations, with good North-South agreement and reduced errors compared to GAMA.

  10. Direct VLBI evidence for a buried AGN in the triple-merger LIRG UGC 2369S

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    VLBI imaging detects a compact radio source with Tb > 10^7 K and flat spectrum in the northern core of UGC 2369S, confirming a buried low-luminosity AGN.

  11. The Galaxy Luminosity Functions in ASTRID: Predictions for LSST

    astro-ph.GA 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    ASTRID simulation with dust model calibrated to SDSS at z=0 produces validated luminosity functions and LSST-ready mock catalogs of 378 million galaxies with predicted number counts in ugrizy bands from z=0 to 2.
