Magnitudes, distance moduli, bolometric corrections, and so much more | David W. Hogg
; | Date: |
2 Jun 2022 | Abstract: | This pedagogical document about stellar photometry - aimed at those for whom
astronomical arcana seem arcane - endeavours to explain the concepts of
magnitudes, color indices, absolute magnitudes, distance moduli, extinctions,
attenuations, color excesses, K corrections, and bolometric corrections. I
include some discussion of observational technique, and some discussion of
epistemology, but the primary focus here is on the theoretical or interpretive
connections between the observational astronomical quantities and the physical
properties of the observational targets. | Source: | arXiv, 2206.00989 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
