Not-to-scale visual representation of Redshift-Leavitt bias. SN-hosts are redshifted relative to anchor galaxies. Observed oscillation frequencies of Cepheids, Miras, and other variable stars, are subject to time dilation, i.e., observed periods are longer than emitted periods. This translates to a distance modulus bias due to the slope of Leavitt laws.
