The Brightness of Stars - Physics and Astronomy and more星的亮度与更多的物理与天文学！

The Brightness of Stars The Simple Answer to: How Bright? Quantifying the brightness of stars started with Hipparchus (2nd C. BC) and his magnitude scale He designated the brightest star he could see as a “1” magnitude and the dimmest a “6” magnitude Astronomers still labor under a more quantified version of this system One tragic consequence is that objects brighter than the brightest star have negative magnitudes! However… We will have to account for: Filtering Distance Reddening Extinction But first things first… Apparent vs Absolute The Apparent Magnitude of a star is how bright it appears to the naked eye, disregarding any interfering factors On our Hipparchian scale, the Sun would have an apparent magnitude of -26, the Moon -11, and Venus -3 The Absolute Magnitude is how bright a star (or other object) would appear at a distance of 10 parsecs ~ 32.6LY The Sun’s absolute magnitude is 4.83 The Difference Consider a 100W light bulb; 100W is its intrinsic brightness It emits 100W of light no matter how far away it is; at the specified distance of 10 parsecs it would have some (very tiny) absolute magnitude However, since a 100W bulb in your face seems much brighter than a 100W bulb 10 parsecs away, its apparent magnitude would depend on how close or far away it is Rule of Thumb You can’t add magnitudes, absolute or apparent, directly because they are calculated with base ten logarithms A difference of 1 magnitude means a factor of 2.512 in brightness So, if you ask how bright two 3-magnitude stars are together, it’s not 6, it’s not 5.048, it’s 2.25* Don’t worry, you won’t have to calculate the summed brightness of multiple stars, but you do have to know that you can’t just add magnitudes And you must realize that smaller numbers, even negative numbers, mean brighter objects *2m = m-2.512log(2) = 2.247 ~ 2.25 Intrinsic Brightness: Blackbody Radiation Stars emit light because they are hot! Their color is determined by their temperature Consequently, their brightnes
