K-corrections: an Examination of their Contribution to the Uncertainty of Luminosity Measurements
In this paper we provide formulae that can be used to determine the uncertainty contributed to a measurement by a K-correction and, thus, valuable information about which flux measurement will provide the most accurate K-corrected luminosity. All of this is done at the level of a Gaussian approximat...
