In astronomy, absolute magnitude (M) is a measure of the luminosity of a celestial object on an inverse logarithmic astronomical magnitude scale. An object's...

different definitions of magnitude: apparent magnitude and absolute magnitude. The apparent magnitude (m) is the brightness of an object and depends on an object's...

Measurement in the V-band may be referred to as the apparent visual magnitude. Absolute magnitude is a related quantity which measures the luminosity that a celestial...

astronomical magnitude system: the absolute bolometric magnitude (Mbol) of an object is a logarithmic measure of its total energy emission rate, while absolute magnitude...

ordered rings, fields and vector spaces. The absolute value is closely related to the notions of magnitude, distance, and norm in various mathematical...

which compensates for the distances, converting the apparent magnitude to the absolute magnitude, see the list of most luminous stars. The Sun is the brightest...
