Format
LCrest: t (restframe day), absolute magnitudes
LCabs: redshift, t (restframe day), K-corrected absolute magnitudes
LCobs: redshift, t (restframe day), K-corrected observed magnitudes
LCbol: t (restframe day), luminosity
NOTE 1: all magnitudes are given in AB magnitude.
NOTE 2: for observed magnitudes, distance is corrected with H0=70 km/s/Mpc, Omega_matter = 0.3, Omega_lambda = 0.7
