Hello,
When we talk about the luminosity, apparent magnitude or absolute magnitude of a star, are we talking about all wavelengths of EM radiation or just a certain range?
I've read that luminosity is basically the power output of all types of radiation, but the apparent magnitude scale is subjective implying that it only accounts for visible light.
