Absolute magnitude is how bright the star appears at a standard distance of 32.6 light-years.
The absolute magnitude measure of a celestial body's intrinsic brightness is represented as the apparent magnitude the object might have if seen from a distance of 10 parsecs.
- How to find absolute magnitude?
Mv = m - 2.5 log[ (d/10)2 ]. Stars farther than 10 pc have Mv more negative than m, that is why there is a minus sign in the formula. If you use this formula, make sure you put the star's distance d in parsecs (1 pc = 3.26 ly = 206265 AU).
