Hi guys,
I've seen a lot of textbooks converting between 2 apparent magnitudes to the ratio of 2 fluxes. But I just want to know how to convert 1 ( ONE, UNO , 1, NOT 2 ) flux to 1 ( ONE, UNO, 1, NOT 2 ) 1 Apparent Magnitude. I think I saw my professor wrote this down, but am not sure . Is this correct :
Apparent Magnitude (m) = -2.5 log (Flux)
Again, I want to stress that I only want to know the magnitude/flux of 1 ( ONE, UNO , 1, NOT 2 ) source, and I don't want to / don't care / really don't care about 2 sources with different magnitudes/ have absolutely no information on any other reference magnitude from another source.
