Description: EDe-boostingE is a well-known relativistic effect that alters the apparent luminosity of radiation sources with the non-zero redshift parameter z. It exists in both Special Relativity and General Relativity frameworks and is proportional to (z+1)^(-2). While the EboostingE (for blueshift) and Ede-boostingE (for redshift) of light sources has been successfully accounted for and observed in research of various astronomical objects, it was ignored in the establishment of Standard candles for cosmological distances. A Standard candle adjustment appears necessary for Ede-boostingE for high z, otherwise we would incorrectly assume that Standard candles appear dimmer, not because of Ede-boostingE but because of the excessive distance, which would affect the entire Standard candles ladder at cosmological distances. The Ede-boostingE correction of the apparent luminosities of SNIa places the effective rest-frame magnitudes below the curve corresponding to the cosmological model with the parameters I=0 and (IM, II) = (2, 0) on the Hubble diagram. This way, the Ede-boostingE correction of the apparent luminosities of SNIa may further adjust and clarify cosmological models.
