Do two stars of the same absolute bolometric magnitude have the same absolute visual magnitude?
If this is true; does this mean that two stars with the same power output have the same have the same bolometric magnitude and therefore same visual magnitude?
My physics book mentions that a stars luminosity is its total power output at all wavelengths and that
absolute magnitude is defined as inherent brightness and NOT luminosity.
It then mentions that two stars of the same power output have the same absolute magnitude.
Since luminosity is the...

Hey,
Could anyone explain why Ia/Ib=2.512^(Mb-Ma), Where "Ia" and "Ib" are intensities of star a and star b and "Mb" and "Ma" are the apparent magnitudes of star A and star B?
I thought the formula would be Ia/Ib=(2.512)^(Ma-Mb) because Ia=2.512^Ma and Ib=2.512^Mb.
Thank You
