Type Ia supernova cosmology uses standardized supernova luminosities to measure the shape of the luminosity-distance--redshift relation. In a spatially flat universe,

d_{L} (z) = (1 + z) c \int_{0}^{z} \frac{d z ^{'}}{H ( z ^{'} )} .

An unknown common absolute luminosity is degenerate with the overall distance scale but does not erase the redshift dependence.
