correction to a redshifted galaxy's magnitude that accounts for the shift of its spectrum relative to the fixed observed filter bandpass.

In astrophysics, K-correction refers to correction to a redshifted galaxy's magnitude that accounts for the shift of its spectrum relative to the fixed observed filter bandpass. This meaning comes from Oke (1968) in The Astrophysical Journal.[1]
