How can I convert luminosity from [erg/s/Hz] to [erg/s]
I have the dust-corrected luminosity in the Ks band in the unit erg/s/Hz. I want to convert it to erg/s. I would like to know which method is correct:
$L[erg/s]=L[erg/s/Hz]\times(C/\lambda)$
$L[erg/s]...

How to correct observed flux densities for redshift
Say I have a spectrum of a galaxy at a redshift $z$, in flux density units of erg/s/cm^2/Angstrom. I'd like to recover the spectrum (in the same flux density units) at z=0, i.e. at its rest ...
