Horizons: Exploring the Universe
Reasoning with Numbers 8-2 Absolute Magnitude and Distance Apparent visual
magnitude tells you how bright a star looks (see Reasoning with Numbers 2-1),
but absolute visual magnitude tells you how luminous the star really is.

Astronomy: The Solar System and Beyond
Absolute Visual Magnitude If all stars were the same distance from Earth, you
could compare one with another and decide which was emitting more light and
which less. Of course, the stars are scattered at different distances, and you can't
...

The Internal Constitution of the Stars
The observed visual magnitude of Capella is 0m-21. To reduce to absolute
magnitude, i.e. magnitude at the standard distance of 10 parsecs or parallax 0"-1,
we must add 5logi0(m/0"-l), which gives 0-21 — 1•00 = — 0m-79. This represents
the ...

Apparent visual magnitude (Mv)indicates how bright a star appears to be here on
Earth, not how bright it actually is. In our three-dimensional universe, a small,
cool star that's nearby can appear to be just as bright as a large, hot star that is ...
Michael Seeds, Dana Backman, 2013
Although some stars emit large amounts of infrared or ultraviolet light, human
eyes can't see those types of radiation, and they are not included in the apparent
visual magnitude. The subscript “V” stands for “visual” and reminds you that only
...

visual magnitude tells you how bright a star looks (see Reasoning with Numbers
2-1), but absolute visual magnitude tells you how luminous the star really is.

The Microscope: Excerpts from The Museum of Science and Art
In such cases, therefore, the visual magnitude of an object, without the
intervention of the microscope, must be understood to mean the angular
divergence of the rays which would be drawn from a point placed at ten inches
from the object to ...
