Luminosity Distance
Linked via "parsecs (pc)"
$$\mu = m - M = 5 \log{10}(DL) - 5$$
where $D_L$ is expressed in parsecs (pc)). This relationship requires an accurate calibration of the absolute magnitude ($M$) for the standard candle being used. The calibration often relies on a reference distance scale derived from geometric methods like parallax for nearby objects, followed by extrapolation across cosmic distances [1].
