I have a Q for someone here.
What is the formula for derriving flux (as a measure of light per unit area per unit time) from the astronomy magnitude scale, for Venus {-4.40 max} or the full moon {-12.7)? I saw this chart: http://www.lakeheadu.ca/~physwww/cou...b/apmagdef.gif But it don't have the range for Venus or the Moon. I know the bright star Alpha Carina (Canopus) has magnitude of - 0.72 which is of flux of something like 6.8 x 10-5 W/m2. (6.8 x 10^-5 watt per squre mtre). Thnx Robert |
