Luminosity distance is a key concept in cosmology used to relate the observed brightness of an astronomical object to its intrinsic brightness (or luminosity) while taking into account the expansion of the universe. It is defined as the distance to an object based on how much its light is spread out by the cosmic expansion and the geometry of space.
