Physics

Geneva Photometry, Absolute Magnitudes

Scientific paper

In this fifth part of the article, we look at the multicolour photometric calibration of stellar intrinsic luminosity habitually given as the absolute magnitude Mv. The estimate of the latter quantity is in the majority of cases the only way to assess the space distribution of young stellar populations and, as a consequence, that of interstellar dust. Stars, however, tend to form binary or multiple systems and are subject to a number of physical pecularities. Such characteristics introduce a significant and unavoidable amount of dispersion regarding the Mv estimate.
